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 introduce a version of Stein's method for proving concentration and moment inequalities in problems with dependence. Simple illustrative examples from combinatorics, physics, and mathematical statistics are provided.
We extend Stein's lemma for averages that explicitly contain the Gaussian random variable at a power. We present two proofs for this extension of Stein's lemma, with the first being a rigorous proof by mathematical induction. The…
Random events in space and time often exhibit a locally dependent structure. When the events are very rare and dependent structure is not too complicated, various studies in the literature have shown that Poisson and compound Poisson…
We present an adaptation of Stein's method of normal approximation to the study of both discrete- and continuous-time dynamical systems. We obtain new correlation-decay conditions on dynamical systems for a multivariate central limit…

We present, in a unified way, a Stein methodology for infinitely divisible laws (without Gaussian component) having finite first moment. Based on a correlation representation, we obtain a characterizing non-local Stein operator which boils…
Let $h$ be a three times partially differentiable function on $R^n$, let $X=(X_1,\dots,X_n)$ be a collection of real-valued random variables and let $Z=(Z_1,\dots,Z_n)$ be a multivariate Gaussian vector. In this article, we develop Stein's…
Stein's method is applied to obtain a general Cramer-type moderate deviation result for dependent random variables whose dependence is defined in terms of a Stein identity. A corollary for zero-bias coupling is deduced. The result is also…
In this paper, a new method based on probability generating functions is used to obtain multiple Stein operators for various random variables closely related to Poisson, binomial and negative binomial distributions. Also, Stein operators…
We obtain a Stein characterisation of the distribution of the product of two correlated normal random variables with non-zero means, and more generally the distribution of the sum of independent copies of such random variables. Our Stein…
The goal of this paper is to integrate the notions of stochastic conditional independence and variation conditional independence under a more general notion of extended conditional independence. We show that under appropriate assumptions…
Edgeworth expansions of first and second order are established for general linear rank statistics under the null hypothesis with asymptotically ''sufficiently'' small remainder terms. The methods used are the Stein method combined with an…
Edgeworth expansion provides higher-order corrections to the normal approximation for a probability distribution. The classical proof of Edgeworth expansion is via characteristic functions. As a powerful method for distributional…
One major obstacle in applications of Stein's method for compound Poisson approximation is the availability of so-called magic factors (bounds on the solution of the Stein equation) with favourable dependence on the parameters of the…
