We prove the large-dimensional Gaussian approximation of a sum of $n$ independent random vectors in $\mathbb{R}^d$ together with fourth-moment error bounds on convex sets and Euclidean balls. We show that compared with classical…

We develop a variant of Stein's method of comparison of generators to bound the Kolmogorov, total variation, and Wasserstein-1 distances between distributions on the real line. Our discrepancy is expressed in terms of the ratio of reverse…
This work studies finite sample approximations of the exact and entropic regularized Wasserstein distances between centered Gaussian processes and, more generally, covariance operators of functional random processes. We first show that…

In this paper, we establish explicit quantitative Berry-Esseen bounds in the hyper-rectangle distance $d_R$, the convex distance $d_{\mathscr{C}}$ and the $1$-Wasserstein distance $d_W$ for high-dimensional, non-linear functionals of…
In a recent paper the author obtained optimal bounds for the strong Gaussian approximation of sums of independent $\R^d$-valued random vectors with finite exponential moments. The results may be considered as generalizations of well-known…
We analyze the Gaussian approximation as a method to obtain the first and second moments of a stochastic process described by a master equation. We justify the use of this approximation with ideas coming from van Kampen's expansion approach…
Gaussian processes are powerful non-parametric probabilistic models for stochastic functions. However, the direct implementation entails a complexity that is computationally intractable when the number of observations is large, especially…
