Exact Values and Sharp Estimates for the Total Variation Distance between Binomial and Poisson Distributions

We present a method to obtain both exact values and sharp estimates for the total variation distance between binomial and Poisson distributions with the same mean λ. We give a simple efficient ...

Probability Distributions

This section describes the probability distributions available in the RELIABILITY procedure for probability plotting and parameter estimation. Refer to Lawless (1982, p. 240) for a description of the ...
