Althoug Chebyshev [3] and Edeworth [5] had conceived of the formal expansions for distribution of sums of independent random variables, but only in Cramer’s work [4] was laid a proper foundation of this problem. In the case when random variables are lattice Esseen get the asymptotic expansion in a new different form. Here we extend this problem for quasi-lattice random variables.

We derive an asymptotic expansion for the distribution of a compound sum of independent random variables, all having the same rapidly varying subexponential distribution. The examples of a Poisson and geometric number of summands serve as an illustration of the main result. Complete calculations are done for a Weibull distribution, with which we derive, as examples and without any difficulties, seven-term expansions.

Formal Asymptotic Expansion

We consider the formal asymptotic expansion of probability distribution of the sums of independent random variables. The approximation was made by using infinitely divisible probability distributions.

Sums of independent random variables concentrated on discrete, not necessarily lattice, set of points are approximated by infinitely divisible distributions and signed compound Poisson measures. A version of Kolmogorov's first uniform theorem is proved. Second-order asymptotic expansions are constructed for distributions with pseudo-lattice supports.
