We present an adaptation of Stein’s method of normal approximation to the study of both discrete- and continuous-time dynamical systems. We obtain new correlation-decay conditions on dynamical systems for a multivariate central limit theorem augmented by a rate of convergence. We then present a scheme for checking these conditions in actual examples. The principal contribution of our paper is the method, which yields a convergence rate essentially with the same amount of work as the central limit theorem, together with a multiplicative constant that can be computed directly from the assumptions.

Motivated by two measures of presortedness, number of runs and oscillation of a permutation, related to the sorting problem, we derive an error bound for normal approximation to the distribution of Here, αij's are given real numbers and π is a uniformly distributed random permutation of {l,…, n}. The derivation is based on Stein's method.

d-descents are permutation statistics that generalize the notions of descents and inversions. It is known that the distribution of d-descents of permutations of length n satisfies a central limit theorem as n goes to infinity. We provide an explicit formula for the mean and variance of these statistics and obtain bounds on the rate of convergence using Stein's method.
