Consider throwing $n$ balls at random into $m$ urns, each ball landing in urn $i$ with probability $p_i$. Let $S$ be the resulting number of singletons, i.e., urns containing just one ball. We give an error bound for the Kolmogorov distance…

We consider the number of crossings in a random embedding of a graph, $G$, with vertices in convex position. We give explicit formulas for the mean and variance of the number of crossings as a function of various subgraph counts of $G$.…

Let $(X_{i}, i\in J)$ be a family of locally dependent nonnegative integer-valued random variables, and consider the sum $W=\sum\nolimits_{i\in J}X_i$. We first establish a general error upper bound for $d_{TV}(W, M)$ using Stein's method,…

We obtain estimates for the Kolmogorov distance to appropriately chosen gaussians, of linear functions \[ \sum_{i\in [n]^d} \theta_i X_i \] of random tensors $\boldsymbol{X}=\langle X_i:i\in [n]^d\rangle$ which are symmetric and…

We prove abstract bounds on the Wasserstein and Kolmogorov distances between non-randomly centered random sums of real i.i.d. random variables with a finite third moment and the standard normal distribution. Except for the case of mean zero…

In this paper, we obtain uniform and non-uniform bounds on the Kolmogorov distance in the normal approximation for Jack deformations of the character ratio, by using Stein's method and zero-bias couplings. Our uniform bound comes very close…

An explicit bound is given for the Kolmogorov distance between a mixture of normal distributions and a normal distribution with properly chosen parameter values. A random variable X has a mixture of normal distributions if its conditional…

In this article, we first obtain, for the Kolmogorov distance, an error bound between a tempered stable and a compound Poisson distribution and also an error bound between a tempered stable and an alpha stable distribution via Stein method.…

We provide a general result for bounding the difference between point probabilities of integer supported distributions and the translated Poisson distribution, a convenient alternative to the discretized normal. We illustrate our theorem in…

Suppose $n$ independent random variables $X_1, X_2, \dots, X_n$ have zero mean and equal variance. We prove that if the average of $\chi^2$ distances between these variables and the normal distribution is bounded by a sufficiently small…

The concentration inequality approach for normal approximation by Stein's method is generalized to the multivariate setting. We use this approach to prove a non-smooth function distance for multivariate normal approximation for standardized…

For each $n\ge 1$, let $X_{n,1},\ldots,X_{n,N_n}$ be real random variables and $S_n=\sum_{i=1}^{N_n}X_{n,i}$. Let $m_n\ge 1$ be an integer. Suppose $(X_{n,1},\ldots,X_{n,N_n})$ is $m_n$-dependent, $E(X_{ni})=0$, $E(X_{ni}^2)<\infty$ and…

The paper is concerned with approximating the distribution of a sum W of n integer valued random variables Y_i, whose distributions depend on the state of an underlying Markov chain X. The approximation is in terms of a translated Poisson…

Under correlation-type conditions, we derive upper bounds of order $\frac{1}{\sqrt{n}}$ for the Kolmogorov distance between the distributions of weighted sums of dependent summands and the normal law.

Lower and upper bounds are explored for the uniform (Kolmogorov) and $L^2$-distances between the distributions of weighted sums of dependent summands and the normal law. The results are illustrated for several classes of random variables…

Let $X_1,\ldots,X_n$ be $d$-dimensional independent random vectors bounded with probability one. For simplicity, we assume that they have zero mean values: \begin{equation} \mathbf{P}\{\|X_{j}\|\le\tau\}=1,\quad\mathbf{E}\,X_{j}=0,\quad…
