Poisson limit theorems for U-statistics are studied. A general rate of convergence is obtained; this rate is improved for the special case where the U-statistic arises from the consideration of distances between uniformly distributed points in a well-behaved plane region.

AbstractIn the collector’s problem with group drawings, s out of n different types of coupon are sampled with replacement. In the uniform case, each s-subset of the types has the same probability of being sampled. For this case, we derive a Poisson limit theorem for the number of types that are sampled at most $c-1$ times, where $c \ge 1$ is fixed. In a specified approximate nonuniform setting, we prove a Poisson limit theorem for the special case $c=1$ . As corollaries, we obtain limit distributions for the waiting time for c complete series of types in the uniform case and a single complete series in the approximate nonuniform case.

In this research, we continue studying limit theorems for combinatorial numbers satisfying a class of triangular arrays. Using the general results of Hwang and Bender, we obtain a constructive proof of the central limit theorem, specifying the rate of convergence to the limiting (normal) distribution, as well as a new proof of the local limit theorem for the numbers of the tribonacci triangle.

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.

This paper derives non-central asymptotic results for non-linear integral functionals of homogeneous isotropic Gaussian random fields defined on hypersurfaces in ℝd. We obtain the rate of convergence for these functionals. The results extend recent findings for solid figures. We apply the obtained results to the case of sojourn measures and demonstrate different limit situations.

Consider a sequence of independent Bernoulli trials with success probability p. Let N(n; k1, k2) denote the number of times that k1 failures are followed by k2 successes among the first n Bernoulli trials. We employ the Stein-Chen method to obtain a total variation upper bound for the rate of convergence of N(n; k1, k2) to a suitable Poisson random variable. As a special case, the corresponding limit theorem is established. Similar results are obtained for Nk3(n; k1, k2), the number of times that k1 failures followed by k2 successes occur k3 times successively in n Bernoulli trials. The bounds obtained are generally sharper than, and improve upon, some of the already known results. Finally, the technique is adapted to obtain Poisson approximation results for the occurrences of the above-mentioned events under Markov-dependent trials.

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.
