ABSTRACT

Nonuniforrn bounds in cornpourid Poisson approximation on a group for small arid moderate X were first obtairicd by Chen (1975b) and la.tcr generalized and refined by Chen and Roos (1995). In these papers, the techniques were inspired hy Stein's method. The first paper on cornpound Poisson approximation using Stein's method directly was by Barhour, Chen, and Loh (1992).
