The kernel Stein discrepancy measures the difference between two distributions via the Stein operator and functions in a reproducing kernel Hilbert space, can be computed from samples alone, and is insensitive to the normalization constant.

UnverifiedNumerical experiments show that different kernel functions (such as the squared exponential kernel and the Matérn kernel) lead to different convergence behavior, and that as the state dimension increases, the number of samples required for convergence rises significantly.70% similarUnverifiedCross-validation by two independently implemented Lean kernels is an additional defensive measure; if both accept the same proof, the probability of a common error is extremely low.67% similarUnverifiedFor conditional distribution equality testing in high-dimensional conditional variable settings, the test statistics of traditional kernel-based methods (conditional two-sample tests and joint two-sample tests) converge dramatically more slowly as the dimension increases, making it nearly impossible to detect true differences in finite samples.67% similarUnverifiedWhen ρ has covariance Σ, the prior Gibbs distribution corresponding to the conjugate decomposition has covariance Σ^(1/3), causing the prior to also be dispersed when ρ is dispersed, resulting in better alignment between the two and preventing the Lipschitz constant from exploding.64% similarUnverifiedEquilibrium mismatch refers to the learned steady-state distribution itself being far from the target distribution; under certain explicit assumptions, even when the per-atom error in a locally symmetry-preserving model is very small, the distribution discrepancy still approaches its maximum value as the system size increases.62% similar
