Stein's method compares probability distributions through the study of a class of linear
operators called Stein operators. While mainly studied in probability and used to underpin …

Optimal-order bounds on the rate of convergence to normality in the multivariate delta method

I Pinelis, R Molzon - 2016 - projecteuclid.org
Abstract Uniform and nonuniform Berry–Esseen (BE) bounds of optimal orders on the rate of
convergence to normality in the delta method for vector statistics are obtained. The results …

Optimal-order uniform and nonuniform bounds on the rate of convergence to normality for maximum likelihood estimators

I Pinelis - 2017 - projecteuclid.org
It is well known that, under general regularity conditions, the distribution of the maximum
likelihood estimator (MLE) is asymptotically normal. Very recently, bounds of the optimal …

Multivariate normal approximation of the maximum likelihood estimator via the delta method

A Anastasiou, RE Gaunt - 2020 - projecteuclid.org
We use the delta method and Stein's method to derive, under regularity conditions, explicit
upper bounds for the distributional distance between the distribution of the maximum …

Beyond the delta method

A Lejay, S Mazzonetto - arXiv preprint arXiv:2207.13954, 2022 - arxiv.org
We give an asymptotic development of the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE), or any
other estimator defined implicitly, in a way which involves the limiting behavior of the score …

Wasserstein distance error bounds for the multivariate normal approximation of the maximum likelihood estimator

A Anastasiou, RE Gaunt - Electronic Journal of Statistics, 2021 - projecteuclid.org
We obtain explicit p-Wasserstein distance error bounds between the distribution of the multi-
parameter MLE and the multivariate normal distribution. Our general bounds are given for …

Assessing the multivariate normal approximation of the maximum likelihood estimator from high-dimensional, heterogeneous data

A Anastasiou - 2018 - projecteuclid.org
The asymptotic normality of the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) under regularity
conditions is a cornerstone of statistical theory. In this paper, we give explicit upper bounds …

Calibrated model criticism using split predictive checks

J Li, JH Huggins - arXiv preprint arXiv:2203.15897, 2022 - arxiv.org
Checking how well a fitted model explains the data is one of the most fundamental parts of a
Bayesian data analysis. However, existing model checking methods suffer from trade-offs …

Bounds for distributional approximation in the multivariate delta method by Stein's method

RE Gaunt, H Sutcliffe - arXiv preprint arXiv:2305.06234, 2023 - arxiv.org
We obtain bounds to quantify the distributional approximation in the delta method for vector
statistics (the sample mean of $ n $ independent random vectors) for normal and non …
