Abstract: Let Sn = X1 + ... + Xn, where X1, ..., Xn are independent Bernoulli random variables. In this paper we present some new results of approximation of the distribution of Sn by a Poisson distribution with respect to the point metric. For this purpose we use the semigroup approach originally developed in Deheuvels and Pfeifer (1986a).
