S. V. Nagaev Sobolev Institute of Mathematics, Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Novosibirsk
Abstract:
We derive many new estimates for the proximity of the binomial distribution to the Poisson distribution in the uniform metric and propose a combined approach to estimating the distance in a uniform metric when, for small $n$ and large $p$, the estimation is performed on using a computer and, for the remaining values of $n$ and $p$, the estimates obtained analytically are used.
Key words:
arithmetic distribution function, Bernoulli random variables, complex analysis, generation function, Poisson law.
