Intuitive approximations in discrete renewal theory, Part 1: Regularly varying case

Edward Omey and Stefan Van Gulck

Statistics & Probability Letters, 2015, vol. 104, issue C, 68-74

Abstract: It is usually impossible to find explicit expressions for the renewal sequence. This paper presents a simple method to approximate the renewal sequence, which covers many of the known approximations. The paper uses the ideas of Mitov and Omey (2014).
