Title: About Stein kernels
Authors: Yvik Swan - Universite libre de Bruxelles (Belgium) [presenting]
Abstract: Stein kernels (a.k.a. Stein covariance kernels) are important functionals associated with probability distributions that have recently attracted quite a bit of attention due to their role e.g. in controlling the speed of convergence in some multivariate central limit theorems. We will provide a brief history of these quantities, and review some of their most important applications.
