An improved bound for negative binomial approximation with -functions
In this article, we use Stein’s method together with -functions to give an improved bound for the total variation distance between the distribution of a non-negative integer-valued random variable and the negative binomial distribution with parameters and , where is equal to the mean of , . The impr...
