Stein's method for discrete Gibbs measures
- Abstract:
-
Stein's method provides a way of bounding the distance of a probability distribution to a target distribution $\mu$. Here we develop Stein's method for the class of discrete Gibbs measures with a density $e^V$, where $V$ is the energy function. Using size bias couplings, we treat an example of Gibbs convergence for strongly correlated random variables due to Chayes and Klein [Helv. Phys. Acta 67 (1994) 30--42]. We obtain estimates of the approximation to a grand-canonical Gibbs ensemble. As s...
