Optimal Berry-Esseen bounds on the Poisson space

arXiv:1505.02578

Abstract

We establish new lower bounds for the normal approximation in the Wasserstein distance of random variables that are functionals of a Poisson measure. Our results generalize previous findings by Nourdin and Peccati (2012, 2015) and Biermé, Bonami, Nourdin and Peccati (2013), involving random variables living on a Gaussian space. Applications are given to optimal Berry-Esseen bounds for edge counting in random geometric graphs.
