Compound Poisson approximation for triangular arrays with application to threshold estimation (Q456255): Difference between revisions

Let \(\left\{Y_{n,j},\;j=1,2,\dotsc,n,\;n=1,2,\dots\right\}\) be triangular array of random variables, whose rows are asymptotically negligible and satisfy some weak dependence condition. Using the Tikhomirov method, the authors obtain compound Poisson approximation for the sums \(S_{n}=\sum_{j=1}^{n}Y_{n,j}\). Moreover, they derive bounds on the Levy distance between the distributions function of the sums S\(_{n}\) and the compound Poisson distribution. The results are applied to threshold estimation in autoregressive models.
