A General Method for Approximating Tail Probabilities
尾部概率近似的一般方法
A new transformation referred to as the G (m) n -transformation is introduced to establish a general methodology for finding functions that are easy to evaluate and give very good approximations to tail probabilities. The transformation is based only on a general class of differential equations that include the specified density function in the solution set, at least asymptotically. As a result this new method applies to a broad class of distributions. Not only is the method…
