“…Recently, Stein's method has been extended to variance-gamma (VG) approximation [12,14]. The VG distribution (also known as the generalized Laplace distribution [24]) is commonly used in financial mathematics [26], and has recently appeared in several papers in the probability literature as a limiting distribution [1,2,3]. This is in part due to the fact that the family of VG distributions is a rich one, with special or limiting cases that include, amongst others, the normal, gamma, Laplace, product of zero mean normals and difference of gammas [14,24].…”
