On Stein's factors for Poisson approximation in Wasserstein distance with non-linear transportation costs

Probability 2020-04-01 v1

Abstract

We establish various bounds on the solutions to a Stein equation for Poisson approximation in Wasserstein distance with non-linear transportation costs. The proofs are a refinement of those in [Barbour and Xia (2006)] using the results in [Liu and Ma (2009)]. As a corollary, we obtain an estimate of Poisson approximation error measured in L^2-Wasserstein distance.
