Discrete Stein characterizations and discrete information distances
Christophe Ley, Yvik Swan
We construct two different Stein characterizations of discrete distributions and use these to provide a natural connection between Stein characterizations for discrete distribution…
On a connection between Stein characterizations and Fisher information
Christophe Ley, Yvik Swan
We generalize the so-called density approach to Stein characterizations of probability distributions. We prove an elementary factorization property of the resulting Stein operator…
A Stochastic Analysis of Table Tennis
Yves Dominicy, Christophe Ley, Yvik Swan
We establish a general formula for the distribution of the score in table tennis. We use this formula to derive the probability distribution (and hence the expectation and variance…
Optimal R-Estimation of a Spherical Location
Christophe Ley, Yvik Swan, Baba Thiam +1
In this paper, we provide -estimators of the location of a rotationally symmetric distribution on the unit sphere of . In order to do so we first prove the local asymptoti…
A unified approach to Stein characterizations
Christophe Ley, Yvik Swan
This article deals with Stein characterizations of probability distributions. We provide a general framework for interpreting these in terms of the parameters of the underlying dis…
