We extend Stein's method to include independence with respect to an auxiliary random variable, for any law for which a Stein characterization does exist. This extends the current literature on the problem. Using tools from the Malliavin…

We provide a new perspective on Stein's so-called density approach by introducing a new operator and characterizing class which are valid for a much wider family of probability distributions on the real line. We prove an elementary…

This paper is concerned with the Stein's method associated with a (possibly) asymmetric $\alpha$-stable distribution $Z$, in dimension one. More precisely, its goal is twofold. In the first part, we exhibit a genuine bound for the…

We show how the infinitesimal exchangeable pairs approach to Stein's method combines naturally with the theory of Markov semigroups. We present a multivariate normal approximation theorem for functions of a random variable invariant with…

We derive a multidimensional Stein's method for asymptotic independence in the case of a general target $\mu$ with a density, being invariant measure of a diffusion process. It allows us to give a general bound in Wasserstein distance…

Stein operators allow to characterise probability distributions via differential operators. Based on these characterisations, we develop a new method of point estimation for marginal parameters of strictly stationary and ergodic processes,…

We obtain rates of convergence in limit theorems of partial sums $S_n$ for certain sequences of dependent, identically distributed random variables, which arise naturally in statistical mechanics, in particular, in the context of the…

We provide a general result for finding Stein operators for the product of two independent random variables whose Stein operators satisfy a certain assumption, extending a recent result of Gaunt, Mijoule and Swan \cite{gms18}. This…

We propose a new version of Stein's method of exchangeable pairs, which, given a suitable exchangeable pair $(W,W')$ of real-valued random variables, suggests the approximation of the law of $W$ by a suitable absolutely continuous…

The first essential ingredient to build up Stein's method for a continuous target distribution is to identify a so-called \textit{Stein operator}, namely a linear differential operator with polynomial coefficients. In this paper, we…
