Abstract
The inductive size bias coupling technique and Stein's method yield a Berry-Esseen theorem for the number of urns having occupancy when balls are uniformly distributed over urns. In particular, there exists a constant depending only on such that \sup_{z \in \mathbb{R}}|P(W_{n,m} \le z) -P(Z \le z)| \le C \left( \frac{1+(\frac{n}{m})^3}{\sigma_{n,m}} \right) \quad \mbox{for all $n \ge d$ and $m \ge 2$,} where and are the standardized count and variance, respectively, of the number of urns with balls, and is a standard normal random variable. Asymptotically, the bound is optimal up to constants if and tend to infinity together in a way such that stays bounded.
