Poisson type approximations for the Markov binomial distribution (Q1001845)

Let \(\xi _0 ,\xi _1 ,\dots ,\xi _n ,\dots \) be a Markov chain with two states 0 and 1. The distribution of \(S_n = \xi _1 + \dots + \xi _n \) is called the Markov binomial distribution. The purpose of the paper is the estimation of accuracy of Poisson approximation and various two-parametric Poisson type approximation to the Markov binomial distribution. The estimates are obtained in the total variation, local and Wasserstein norms.
