As an illustration of the possible uses of those inequalities, a quick proof of Nagaev's classical nonuniform bound was given there. Here we describe another, apparently more effective class of smoothing inequalities, and give a yet quicker and simpler proof of Nagaev's result.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2013-04-28T02:05:47.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "60E15", "62E17" ], "keywords": [ "nonuniform berry-esseen bound", "smoothing inequalities", "nagaevs classical nonuniform bound", "simpler proof", "large gap" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013arXiv1302.0516P" } } }
