Brownian Approximations to First Passage Probabilities.
Abstract
By direct probabilistic argument one term of an Edgeworth type asymptotic expansion is obtained for certain first passage distributions for random walks. These results provide partial justification for and extensions of approximations suggested earlier as a heuristic consquence of Laplace transform calculations.
