On the compound α(t)-modified Poisson distribution

Katarzyna Steliga, Dominik Szynal (2015)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Similarity:

In this paper we introduce compound α(t)-modified Poisson distributions. We obtain the compound Delaporte distribution as the special case of the compound α(t)-modified Poisson distribution. The characteristics of α(t)-modified Poisson and some compound distributions with gamma, exponential and Panjer summands are presented.

A note on Poisson approximation.

Paul Deheuvels (1985)

Trabajos de Estadística e Investigación Operativa

Similarity:

We obtain in this note evaluations of the total variation distance and of the Kolmogorov-Smirnov distance between the sum of n random variables with non identical Bernoulli distributions and a Poisson distribution. Some of our results precise bounds obtained by Le Cam, Serfling, Barbour and Hall. It is shown, among other results, that if p1 = P (X1=1), ..., pn = P (Xn=1) satisfy some appropriate...

Approximation by Poisson law

Aldona Aleškevičienė, Vytautas Statulevičius (2005)

Discussiones Mathematicae Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

We present here the results of the investigation on approximation by the Poisson law of distributions of sums of random variables in the scheme of series. We give the results pertaining to the behaviour of large deviation probabilities and asymptotic expansions, to the method of cumulants, with the aid of which our results have been obtained.
