Consider a homogeneous Poisson process in $\mathbb{R}^d$, $d \ge 1$. Let $R_1 < R_2 < \dots$ be the distances of the points from the origin, and let $S = R_1^{-\gamma} + R_2^{-\gamma} + \dots$, where $\gamma > d$ is a parameter. Let…

We develop techniques for determining the exact asymptotic speed of convergence in the multidimensional normal approximation of smooth functions of Gaussian fields. As a by-product, our findings yield exact limits and often give rise to…
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…
Classical Edgeworth expansions provide asymptotic correction terms to the Central Limit Theorem (CLT) up to an order that depends on the number of moments available. In this paper, we provide subsequent correction terms beyond those given…
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…

Non-linear gravitational collapse introduces non-Gaussian statistics into the matter fields of the late Universe. As the large-scale structure is the target of current and future observational campaigns, one would ideally like to have the…
