Abstract

Consider a homogeneous Poisson process in Rd\mathbb{R}^d, d1d \ge 1. Let R1<R2<R_1 < R_2 < \dots be the distances of the points from the origin, and let S=R1γ+R2γ+S = R_1^{-\gamma} + R_2^{-\gamma} + \dots, where γ>d\gamma > d is a parameter. Let S(r)=kRkγ1Rkr\overline{S}^{(r)} = \sum_k R_k^{-\gamma} \, \mathbf{1}_{R_k \ge r} be the contribution to SS outside radius rr. For large enough rr, and any s\overline{s} in the support of S(r)\overline{S}^{(r)}, consider the change of measure that shifts the mean to s\overline{s}. We derive rigorous error estimates for the Edgeworth expansion of the transformed random variable. Our error terms are uniform in s\overline{s}, and we give explicitly the dependence of the error on rr and the order kk of the expansion. As an application, we provide a scheme that approximates the conditional distribution of R1R_1 given S=sS = s to any desired accuracy, with error bounds that are uniform in ss. Along the way, we prove a stochastic comparison between (R1,R2,)(R_1, R_2, \dots) given S=sS = s and unconditioned radii (R1,R2,)(R'_1, R'_2, \dots).
