β¦ Synopsis
Let A1, A2,...,Am and Bl, B2 ..... B. be two sequences of events on the same probability space. Let Xm and Y,, respectively, be the numbers of those At and Bj which occur. Improved upper bounds and lower bounds of yt,i = P(X~,(A)>>-1, Y.(B)~> 1) in terms of the bivariate binomial moments Sij are obtained, using the method of indicators. We also obtained lower bounds on yij = P(Xm(A) >1 i, Y,(B) >~j).

By applying a recent result of Naiman and Wynn on abstract tubes, we establish a new improvement of the classical Bonferroni inequalities for any finite collection of sets [A v ] v # V associated with an additional structure, which is assumed to be given by a union-closed set X of non-empty subsets
Scan statistics have been extensively used in many areas of science to analyze the occurrence of observed clusters of events in time or space. Since the scan statistics are based on the highly dependent consecutive subsequences of observed data, accurate probability inequalities for their distributi
be two sequences of events, and let & N (A) and & M (B) be the number of those A i and B j , respectively, that occur. We prove that Bonferroni-type inequalities for P(& N (A) u, & M (B) v), where u and v are positive integers, are valid if and only if they are valid for a two dimensional triangular
