Gaussian processes are popular and flexible models for spatial, temporal, and functional data, but they are computationally infeasible for large datasets. We discuss Gaussian-process approximations that use basis functions at multiple…

A sharp Poincar\'e-type inequality is derived for the restriction of the Gaussian measure on the boundary of a convex set. In particular, it implies a Gaussian mean-curvature inequality and a Gaussian iso second-variation inequality. The…

In this work, we discuss new bounds for the normal approximation of multivariate Poisson functionals under minimal moment assumptions. Such bounds require one to estimate moments of so-called add-one costs of the functional. Previous works…
