We establish both uniform and nonuniform error bounds of the Berry-Esseen
type in normal approximation under local dependence. These results are of an
order close to the best possible if not best possible. They are more general or
sharper than many existing ones in the literature. The proofs couple Stein's
method with the concentration inequality approach.Comment: Published by the Institute of Mathematical Statistics

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
