Abstract

An asymptotic expansion is obtained for an incomplete beta-type integral, which arises in the study of probabilities of large deviations. The expansion obtained yields large deviation results for binomial, quantile, and related probabilities. Our approach is based on a generalized version of Laplace’s method. © 1980 American Mathematical Society.
