Abstract

In this paper, we consider the sums of non-negative integer valued m-dependent random variables, and its approximation to the power series distribution. We first discuss some relevant results for power series distribution such as Stein operator, uniform and non-uniform bounds on the solution of Stein equation, and etc. Using Stein's method, we obtain the error bounds for the approximation problem considered. As special cases, we discuss two applications, namely, 2-runs and (k₁,k₂)-runs and compare the bound with the existing bounds.
