The title describes pretty much the content. For a family of dependent Gaussian random variables count the number of exceedances of a certain level. Approximate this distribution by a Poisson distribution. Here upper bounds for the total variation norm are given. The main mathematical tools are the Stein-Chen method and a coupling.
