Non-uniform approximations for sums of discrete m-dependent random variables

Probability 2014-08-19 v1

Abstract

Non-uniform estimates are obtained for Poisson, compound Poisson, translated Poisson, negative binomial and binomial approximations to sums of of m-dependent integer-valued random variables. Estimates for Wasserstein metric also follow easily from our results. The results are then exemplified by the approximation of Poisson binomial distribution, 2-runs and mm-dependent (k1,k2)(k_1,k_2)-events.
