Stein's Method and Birth-Death Processes
The Annals of Probability, 2001 The representation of a distribution \(Q\) on \(\mathbb{Z}_+\) as the equilibrium distribution of a birth and death process allows a particular realization of Stein's method for \(Q\). The probabilistic argument of \textit{A. Xia} [J. Appl. Probab. 36, No. 1, 287-290 (1999; Zbl 0942.60006)] is extended to yield bounds for the resulting `Stein factors':

RETRACTED: Learner emotions and performance in hypercasual VR games with adaptive AI difficulty
British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Hypercasual virtual reality games (HVRGs) are widely regarded as cost‐effective tools for rapid skill acquisition, yet the mechanisms that optimise their effectiveness and user acceptance remain insufficiently explored. This mixed‐methods empirical study investigates how playful emotions, characterised by engagement, enjoyment and anxiety ...

Bounds on Negative Binomial Approximation to Call Function
Revstat Statistical JournalIn this paper, we develop Stein's method for negative binomial distribution using call function defined by fz(k) = (k - z)+ = max{k - z, 0}, for k ≥ 0 and z ≥ 0.

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Beneath the Hong Kong government's enthusiasm for recruiting non‐local undergraduates—including students from the Chinese Mainland and other international regions—lies a longstanding gap in understanding the core meanings and drivers shaping the territory's expanding focus on inward international student mobility (ISM).

Stochastic Systems, 2016 This paper provides an introduction to the Stein method framework in the context of steady-state diffusion approximations. The framework consists of three components: the Poisson equation and gradient bounds, generator coupling, and moment bounds ...

Form flows function: Learner‐centered game Re‐design in a STEM classroom
British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Re‐designing games facilitates interest‐driven learning and immerses learners in systems thinking. However, there are limited studies exploring how the form and function of tabletop games influence learners' design decisions and learning experiences. To address this gap, we conducted a mixed‐methods study in a STEM classroom in western Canada.

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.Abstract This study examines the under‐theorized political role and identity of Chinese international students, who emerge as significant actors caught between U.S. soft power ambitions and rising geopolitical suspicion. Amid escalating U.S.‐China tensions, these students are forced to confront environments shaped by competing geopolitical discourses ...

A nonuniform local limit theorem for Poisson binomial random variables via Stein’s method
Journal of Inequalities and ApplicationsWe prove a nonuniform local limit theorem concerning approximation of the point probabilities P ( S = k ) $P(S=k)$ , where S = ∑ i = 1 n X i $S=\sum_{i=1}^{n}X_{i}$ , and X 1 , … , X n $X_{1},\ldots ,X_{n}$ are independent Bernoulli random variables with
