We consider $M/Ph/n+M$ queueing systems in steady state. We prove that the Wasserstein distance between the stationary distribution of the normalized system size process and that of a piecewise Ornstein-Uhlenbeck (OU) process is bounded by…

It is well-known that assumptions of monotonicity in size-bias couplings may be used to prove simple, yet powerful, Poisson approximation results. Here we show how these assumptions may be relaxed, establishing explicit Poisson…

We establish upper bounds for the expected $p$-th power of the Gaussian-smoothed $p$-Wasserstein distance between a probability measure $\mu$ and the corresponding empirical measure $\mu_N$, whenever $\mu$ has finite $q$-th moment for some…

The nested distance builds on the Wasserstein distance to quantify the difference of stochastic processes, including also the information modelled by filtrations. The Sinkhorn divergence is a relaxation of the Wasserstein distance, which…

We establish asymptotic upper and lower bounds for the Wasserstein distance of any order $p\ge 1$ between the empirical measure of a fractional Brownian motion on a flat torus and the uniform Lebesgue measure. Our inequalities reveal an…

The approximation of probability measures on compact metric spaces and in particular on Riemannian manifoldsby atomic or empirical ones is a classical task in approximation and complexity theory with a wide range of applications. Instead of…

The asymptotic behaviour of empirical measures has been studied extensively. In this paper, we consider empirical measures of given subordinated processes on complete (not necessarily compact) and connected Riemannian manifolds with…

We study the optimal rectangular-discrepancy approximation of permutons by finite permutations. We transfer bounds from discrepancy theory to this more restricted setup. Moreover, we show that superlinear approximation can occur only for…

The Robbins estimator is the most iconic and widely used procedure in the empirical Bayes literature for the Poisson model. On one hand, this method has been recently shown to be minimax optimal in terms of the regret (excess risk over the…

In this article, we define the transport dimension of probability measures on $\mathbb{R}^m$ using ramified optimal transportation theory. We show that the transport dimension of a probability measure is bounded above by the Minkowski…

We explore two aspects of geometric approximation via a coupling approach to Stein's method. Firstly, we refine precision and increase scope for applications by convoluting the approximating geometric distribution with a simple translation…

We study shortest paths and their distances on a subset of a Euclidean space, and their approximation by their equivalents in a neighborhood graph defined on a sample from that subset. In particular, we recover and extend the results of…

The paper proposes a new approach to model risk measurement based on the Wasserstein distance between two probability measures. It formulates the theoretical motivation resulting from the interpretation of fictitious adversary of robust…

The aim of this paper is to approximate a finite-state Markov process by another process with fewer states, called herein the approximating process. The approximation problem is formulated using two different methods. The first method,…

Using techniques from Poisson approximation, we prove explicit error bounds on the number of permutations that avoid any pattern. Most generally, we bound the total variation distance between the joint distribution of pattern occurrences…

New bounds on the total variation distance between the law of integer valued functionals of possibly non-symmetric and non-homogeneous infinite Rademacher sequences and the Poisson distribution are established. They are based on a…

We present a way to use Stein's method in order to bound the Wasserstein distance of order $2$ between two measures $\nu$ and $\mu$ supported on $\mathbb{R}^d$ such that $\mu$ is the reversible measure of a diffusion process. In order to…

A generalization of the Wasserstein metric, the integrated transportation distance, establishes a novel distance between probability kernels of Markov systems. This metric serves as the foundation for an efficient approximation technique,…

Our purpose in this paper is to apply the general methodology for model selection based on T-estimators developed in Birg\'{e} [Ann. Inst. H. Poincar\'{e} Probab. Statist. 42 (2006) 273--325] to the particular situation of the estimation of…

This paper proves that, under a monotonicity condition, the invariant probability measure of a McKean--Vlasov process can be approximated by weighted empirical measures of some processes including itself. These processes are described by…
