Abstract

In this paper, we establish explicit quantitative Berry-Esseen bounds in the hyper-rectangle distance dRd_R, the convex distance dCd_{\mathscr{C}} and the 11-Wasserstein distance dWd_W for high-dimensional, non-linear functionals of Gaussian processes, allowing for strong dependence between variables. Our main result demonstrates that, under a smoothness assumption, the convergence rate under dRd_R is sub-polynomial in the dimension and polynomial under dCd_{\mathscr{C}} and dWd_W. To the best of our knowledge, our results under dRd_R provide the first explicit sub-polynomial bound for high-dimensional, non-linear functionals of Gaussian processes beyond the i.i.d. setting. Building on this, we derive explicit Berry-Esseen bounds under both dRd_R and dCd_{\mathscr{C}} for multiple statistical examples, such as the method of moments, empirical characteristic functions, empirical moment-generating functions, and functional limit theorems in high-dimensional settings.
