Stein's method has emerged as a powerful and versatile tool in probability theory for deriving error bounds in distributional approximations. Originally developed to ...

The normal approximation to the binomial test with and without a continuity correction is evaluated in terms of control of Type I errors and power. The normal approximations are evaluated as robust ...

Let balls be thrown successively at random into N boxes, such that each ball falls into any box with the same probability 1/N. Let Z n be the number of occupied boxes (i.e., boxes containing at least ...
