Tutorial on large deviations for the binomial distribution

From MaRDI portal





This paper introduces the concept of large deviations and its use in applications. There are easy to handle formulas for the approximation of the probability of k or more successes in n independent trials, each with success probability p, when the specified fraction of successes, \(a=k/n\), satisfies \(0<p<a<1\).
