Abstract

We develop a general approach to Stein’s method for approximating a random process in the path space D([0,T]Rd) by a real continuous Gaussian process. We then use the approach in the context of processes that have a representation as integrals with respect to an underlying point process, deriving a general quantitative Gaussian approximation. The error bound is expressed in terms of couplings of the original process to processes generated from the reduced Palm measures associated with the point process. As applications, we study certain GI/GI/ queues in the “heavy traffic” regime.
