Quantitative CLTs on the Poisson space via Skorohod estimates and p-Poincaré inequalities by Trauthwein, T

“…Combining these with the Malliavin–Stein method, we derive bounds in the Wasserstein and Kolmogorov distances whose application requires minimal moment assumptions on add-one cost operators — thereby extending the results from (Last, Peccati and Schulte, 2016). Our applications include a central limit theorem (CLT) for the Online Nearest Neighbour graph, whose validity was conjectured in (Wade, 2009; Penrose and Wade, 2009). …”

Major program value creation and capture: the S3 framework for assessing and minimizing risk propagation to maximize opportunities for value creation by Armanios, D, Ventresca, MJ, Itani, MK, McCulloch, M

“…To better track risk propagation within major programs, we reconceptualize them as temporary ecosystems, or interlinked organizations whose project-based interdependencies last until the program’s conclusion. This basis motivates our S3 framework and its three unifying themes. …”
