New Probabilistic Inequalities from Monotone Likelihood Ratio Property

Probability 2015-03-17 v5

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a new approach for deriving probabilistic inequalities. Our main idea is to exploit the information of underlying distributions by virtue of the monotone likelihood ratio property and Berry-Essen inequality. Unprecedentedly sharp bounds for the tail probabilities of some common distributions are established.
