A diffusion approach to Stein's method on Riemannian manifolds (2024)
Journal Article
Le, H., Lewis, A., Bharath, K., & Fallaize, C. (2024). A diffusion approach to Stein's method on Riemannian manifolds. Bernoulli, 30(2), 1079-1104. https://doi.org/10.3150/23-bej1625

We detail an approach to developing Stein’s method for bounding integral metrics on probability measures defined on a Riemannian manifold M. Our approach exploits the relationship between the generator of a diffusion on M having a target invariant me... Read More about A diffusion approach to Stein's method on Riemannian manifolds.
