Stein's method for discrete Gibbs measures

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 exampl...
