Researchers have developed a new method for estimating Kernel Stein Discrepancy (KSD), a technique used for comparing sample distributions and assessing approximate inference. The study identifies the Hilbert-Schmidt norm of the Stein covariance operator as the critical factor determining the minimax risk, establishing a new estimation scale of \(\|C_\star\|_{\mathrm{HS}}/n\). This approach surpasses the standard V-statistic, which is shown to be suboptimal for certain distributions and kernels. AI
