Abstract
This is a survey paper that discusses the original bounds of the seminal papers by Chernoff and Hoeffding. Moreover, it includes a variety of derivative bounds in a variety of forms. Complete proofs are provided as needed. The intent is to provide a repository of reference bounds for the interested researcher.
