Аннотация
Tail probabilities are studied for the binomial distribution. The Hoeffding inequality is sharpened in this particular case through estimating an integral factor in the Esscher transform, which is omitted in Hoeffding’s proof. This approach was already used by Talagrand (1995) in the general case. However, our results are much more precise. In particular, all involved constants are given in the explicit form.
