Sharp constants in the Poisson approximation

Statistics & Probability Letters, 2001, vol. 52, issue 2, 155-168

Abstract: We present some new sharp bounds for several distances between the Poisson binomial distribution and the Poisson law with the same mean. It is shown that the constants involved cannot be reduced.
