An upper bound for the total variation distance between the distribution of the sum of a sequence of r.v.'s and that of a compound Poisson is derived. Its applications to a general independent sequence and Markov-binomial sequence are demonstrated. (~

We use Poisson approximation techniques for sums of indicator random variables to derive explicit error bounds and central limit theorems for several functionals of random trees. In particular, we consider (i) the number of comparisons for successful and unsuccessful search in a binary search tree a

Let {X i ; i ¿ 1} be a sequence of m-dependent stationary standard Gaussian random variables and u n ; n ∈ N some positive constants. In this note we generalise results of Raab (Extremes 1(3) (1999) 29.), who considered compound Poisson approximation for W n = n i=1 1{X i ¿ u n } the number of excee

Using the compactness in large deviation theory, this note describes a large deviation upper bound by a lower semicontinuous function. It then obtains a characterization for exponential convergence and discusses exponential convergence rates.
