| Abstract |
In this paper, a real-valued function that approximates the cumulative distribution function (CDF) of a finite sum of real-valued independent and identically distributed random vectors is presented. The approximation error is upper bounded by an expression that is easy to calculate. As a byproduct, an upper bound and a lower bound on the CDF are obtained. Finally, in the case of lattice and absolutely continuous random variables, the proposed approximation is identical to the saddlepoint approximation of the CDF.
