- In this paper a unified approach to central and decentral approximations of the distribution function $F(x,n)$ of the sum of $n$ iid random variables with compact support in $I\!\!R_+$ is given. This approach yields direct Edgeworth expansion (especially the Central limit theorem) and indirect Edgeworth expansion (Theorem of Bahadur-Rao, large deviation results) within a unified framework. An approximative inversion of the LST of $F(x,n)$ (approximation of the complex inversion integral over a line by an integral over a proper bounded arc with a proper integrand) allows to get these approximations and moreover explicit error bounds.
