Bounding Standard Gaussian Tail Probabilities

preprint2010arXivOpen access

Abstract

We review various inequalities for Mills' ratio (1 - Φ)/ϕ, where ϕand Φdenote the standard Gaussian density and distribution function, respectively. Elementary considerations involving finite continued fractions lead to a general approximation scheme which implies and refines several known bounds.
