Approximation of a random sum of random variables (infinitely divisible distribution) by a triangular array
We know that a Poisson distribution can be approximated by a binomial distribution. More exactly, let $(X_{jn})_{1\leq j \leq n}$ be a i.i.d. triangular array such that
$$P[X_{jn}= 1 ] = p_n = 1- P[X_{...

Showing $o(1)$ convergence for ratio of successive binomial tail probabilities
For a Binomial$(n,p)$ random variable $X$, I'm interested in showing that
$$
\frac{P(X>c)}{P(X>c-1)}=1-o(1)
$$
uniformly in $c\in\mathcal{R}$, where $\mathcal{R}$ is the range of interest (Note ...
