Asymptotic Approximation of an Integral Involving the Normal Distribution*
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 November 2018
Abstract
An asymptotic approximation is obtained, as k → ∞, for the integral
where Φ is the cumulative distribution function for a standard normal random variable, and L is a positive constant. The problem is motivated by a question in statistics, and an outline of'the application is given. Similar methods may be used to approximate other integrals involving the normal distribution.
