Special Case

In this paper we consider improvements in the rate of approximation for the distribution of sums of independent Bernoulli random variables via convolutions of Poisson measures with signed measures of specific type. As a special case, the distribution of the number of records in an i.i.d. sequence of length n is investigated. For this particular example, it is shown that the usual rate of Poisson approximation of O(1/log n) can be lowered to O(1/n 2). The general case is discussed in terms of operator semigroups.

Independent Identically Distributed

Silverman and Brown (1978) have derived Poisson limit theorems for certain sequences of symmetric statistics, based on a sample of independent identically distributed random variables. In this paper an incomplete version of these statistics is considered and a Poisson limit result shown to hold. The powers of some tests based on the incomplete statistic are investigated and the main results of the paper are used to simplify the derivations of the asymptotic distributions of some statistics previously published in the literature.

Poisson Limit

This paper establishes a compound Poisson limit theorem for the sum of a sequence of multi-state Markov chains. Our theorem generalizes an earlier one by Koopman for the two-state Markov chain. Moreover, a similar approach is used to derive a limit theorem for the sum of the k th-order two-state Markov chain.
