Approximations Related to Tempered Stable Distributions

In this article, we first obtain, for the Kolmogorov distance, an error bound between a tempered stable and a compound Poisson distribution and also an error bound between a tempered stable and an alpha stable distribution via Stein method. For the smooth Wasserstein distance, an error bound between two tempered stable distributions is also derived. As examples, we discuss the approximation of a tempered stable to normal and variance gamma distributions. As corollaries, the corresponding limit theorem follows
