Multivariate normal approximation using Stein’s method and Malliavin calculus
نویسندگان
چکیده
We combine Stein’s method with Malliavin calculus in order to obtain explicit bounds in the multidimensional normal approximation (in the Wasserstein distance) of functionals of Gaussian fields. Our results generalize and refine the main findings by Peccati and Tudor (2005), Nualart and Ortiz-Latorre (2007), Peccati (2007) and Nourdin and Peccati (2007b, 2008); in particular, they apply to approximations by means of Gaussian vectors with an arbitrary, positive definite covariance matrix. Among several examples, we provide an application to a functional version of the BreuerMajor CLT for fields subordinated to a fractional Brownian motion.

Stein Meets Malliavin in Normal Approximation
Stein’s method is a method of probability approximation which hinges on the solution of a functional equation. For normal approximation, the functional equation is a first-order differential equation. Malliavin calculus is an infinite-dimensional differential calculus whose operators act on functionals of general Gaussian processes. Nourdin and Peccati (Probab. Theory Relat. Fields 145(1–2), 75...
متن کاملGaussian approximation of functionals: Malliavin calculus and Stein’s method
Combining Malliavin calculus and Stein’s method has recently lead to a new framework for normal and for chi-square approximation, and for second-order Poincaré inequalities. Applications include functionals of Gaussian random fields as well as functionals of infinite Poisson and Rademacher sequences. Here we present the framework and an extension which leads to invariance principles for multili...
متن کاملNormal approximations with Malliavin calculus
This monograph contains some recent results by the authors and their collaborators on the application of Stein’s method combined with Malliavin calculus to the normal approximation for functionals of a Gaussian process. It is addressed to researchers and graduate students in probability and statistics who would like to learn the basis of Gaussian analysis and its application to asymptotic techn...
متن کاملStein’s method, Malliavin calculus, Dirichlet forms and the fourth moment theorem
The fourth moment theorem provides error bounds in the central limit theorem for elements of Wiener chaos of any order. It was proved by Nourdin and Peccati [31] using Stein’s method and the Malliavin calculus. It was also proved by Azmoodeh, Campese and Poly [3] using Stein’s method and Dirichlet forms. This paper is an exposition on the connections between Stein’s method and the Malliavin cal...
متن کاملStein’s method meets Malliavin calculus: a short survey with new estimates
We provide an overview of some recent techniques involving the Malliavin calculus of variations and the so-called “Stein’s method” for the Gaussian approximations of probability distributions. Special attention is devoted to establishing explicit connections with the classic method of moments: in particular, we use interpolation techniques in order to deduce some new estimates for the moments o...
