Poisson Approximation in a Poisson Limit Theorem Inspired by Coupon Collecting
Keyword(s):
In this paper we refine a Poisson limit theorem of Gnedenko and Kolmogorov (1954): we determine the error order of a Poisson approximation for sums of asymptotically negligible integer-valued random variables that converge in distribution to the Poisson law. As an application of our results, we investigate the case of the coupon collector's problem when the distribution of the collector's waiting time is asymptotically Poisson.
