Richard A. Kronmal and Arthur V. Peterson, Jr. The alias method of Walker is a clever, new, fast method for generating random variables from an arbitrary, specified discrete distribution. A simple ...

In the present paper a uniform asymptotic series is derived for the probability distribution of the sum of a large number of independent random variables. In contrast to the usual Edgeworth-type ...
