The variance-gamma distribution: A review

A Fischer, RE Gaunt, A Sarantsev - arxiv preprint arxiv:2303.05615, 2023 - arxiv.org
The variance-gamma (VG) distributions form a four-parameter family which includes as
special and limiting cases the normal, gamma and Laplace distributions. Some of the …

The basic distributional theory for the product of zero mean correlated normal random variables

RE Gaunt - Statistica Neerlandica, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
The product of two zero mean correlated normal random variables, and more generally the
sum of independent copies of such random variables, has received much attention in the …

Quantitative clts in deep neural networks

S Favaro, B Hanin, D Marinucci, I Nourdin… - Probability Theory and …, 2025 - Springer
We study the distribution of a fully connected neural network with random Gaussian weights
and biases in which the hidden layer widths are proportional to a large constant n. Under …

[HTML][HTML] Bounding Kolmogorov distances through Wasserstein and related integral probability metrics

RE Gaunt, S Li - Journal of Mathematical Analysis and Applications, 2023 - Elsevier
We establish general upper bounds on the Kolmogorov distance between two probability
distributions in terms of the distance between these distributions as measured with respect …

[HTML][HTML] Fourth moment theorems for Markov diffusion generators

E Azmoodeh, S Campese, G Poly - Journal of Functional analysis, 2014 - Elsevier
Inspired by the insightful article [4], we revisit the Nualart–Peccati criterion [13](now known
as the Fourth Moment Theorem) from the point of view of spectral theory of general Markov …

Optimal rates for parameter estimation of stationary Gaussian processes

K Es-Sebaiy, FG Viens - Stochastic Processes and their Applications, 2019 - Elsevier
We study rates of convergence in central limit theorems for partial sums of polynomial
functionals of general stationary and asymptotically stationary Gaussian sequences, using …

New error bounds in multivariate normal approximations via exchangeable pairs with applications to Wishart matrices and fourth moment theorems

X Fang, Y Koike - The Annals of Applied Probability, 2022 - projecteuclid.org
We extend Stein's celebrated Wasserstein bound for normal approximation via
exchangeable pairs to the multi-dimensional setting. As an intermediate step, we exploit the …

New Kolmogorov bounds in the CLT for random ratios and applications

K Es-Sebaiy, F Alazemi - Chaos, Solitons & Fractals, 2024 - Elsevier
We develop techniques for determining an explicit Berry–Esseen bound in the Kolmogorov
distance for the normal approximation of a ratio of Gaussian functionals. We provide an …

Malliavin-Stein method for Variance-Gamma approximation on Wiener space

P Eichelsbacher, C Thäle - 2015 - projecteuclid.org
We combine Malliavin calculus with Stein's method to derive bounds for the Variance-
Gamma approximation of functionals of isonormal Gaussian processes, in particular of …

A bound on the Wasserstein-2 distance between linear combinations of independent random variables

B Arras, E Azmoodeh, G Poly, Y Swan - Stochastic processes and their …, 2019 - Elsevier
We provide a bound on a distance between finitely supported elements and general
elements of the unit sphere of ℓ 2 (N∗). We use this bound to estimate the Wasserstein-2 …
