Translated Poisson Approximation Using Exchangeable Pair Couplings
It is shown that the method of exchangeable pairs introduced by Stein (1986) for normal approximation can effectively be used for translated Poisson approximation. Introducing an additional smoothness condition, one can obtain approximation results in total variation and also in a local limit metric. The result is applied in particular to the anti-voter model on finite graphs as analysed by Rin...

متن کاملTranslated Poisson approximation for Markov chains
The paper is concerned with approximating the distribution of a sum W of integer valued random variables Yi, 1 ≤ i ≤ n, whose distributions depend on the state of an underlying Markov chain X. The approximation is in terms of a translated Poisson distribution, with mean and variance chosen to be close to those of W , and the error is measured with respect to the total variation norm. Error boun...
متن کاملA non–uniform bound for translated Poisson approximation
Let X1, . . . , Xn be independent, integer valued random variables, with p th moments, p > 2, and let W denote their sum. We prove bounds analogous to the classical non-uniform estimates of the error in the central limit theorem, but now, for approximation of L(W ) by a translated Poisson distribution. The advantage is that the error bounds, which are often of order no worse than in the classic...
متن کاملExponential Approximation by Exchangeable Pairs and Spectral Graph Theory Running head: Exponential Approximation by Exchangeable Pairs
Running head: Exponential Approximation by Exchangeable Pairs Version of 4/7/06 By Sourav Chatterjee and Jason Fulman Abstract: A general Berry-Esseen bound is obtained for the exponential distribution using Stein’s method of exchangeable pairs. As an application, an error term is derived for Hora’s result that the spectrum of the Bernoulli-Laplace Markov chain has an exponential limit. This is...
