Abstract

In this paper, we mainly focus on the sums of non-negative integer-valued 1-dependent random variables and its approximation to the power series distribution. We first discuss some relevant results for power series distribution such as the Stein operator, uniform and non-uniform bounds on the solution of the Stein equation. Using Stein’s method, we obtain error bounds for the approximation problem considered. The obtained results can also be applied to the sums of m-dependent random variables via appropriate rearrangements of random variables. As special cases, we discuss two applications, namely, 2-runs and (k1,k2)-runs, and compare our bounds with existing bounds.
