Poisson approximation of multivariate Poisson mixtures

Journal of Applied Probability, 2003
We show how good multivariate Poisson mixtures can be approximated by multivariate Poisson distributions and related finite signed measures. Upper bounds for the total variation distance with applications to risk theory and generalized negative multinomial distributions are given. Furthermore, it turns out that the ideas used in this paper also lead to

On Compound Poisson Approximation for Sequence Matching

Combinatorics, Probability and Computing, 2000
Consider sequences {Xi}mi=1 and {Yj}nj=1 of independent random variables, taking values in a finite alphabet, and assume that the variables X1, X2, … and Y1, Y2, … follow the distributions μ and v, respectively. Two variables Xi and Yj are said to match if Xi = Yj.
