We use Stein's method to obtain bounds on the rate of convergence for a class of statistics in geometric probability obtained as a sum of contributions from Poisson points which are exponentially stabilizing, i.e. locally determined in a…
In this paper, we obtain uniform bounds for a number of expressions that involve derivatives and integrals of modified Bessel functions. These uniform bounds are motivated by the need to bound such expressions in the study of variance-gamma…

The central limit theorem (CLT) is one of the most fundamental results in probability; and establishing its rate of convergence has been a key question since the 1940s. For independent random variables, a series of recent works established…
