The Malliavin-Stein method for Hawkes functionals.

In this paper, following Nourdin-Peccati's methodology, we combine the Malliavin calculus and Stein's method to provide general bounds on the Wasserstein distance between the law of functionals of a compound Hawkes process and the one of a Gaussian random variable. To achieve this, we rely on the Poisson imbedding representation of a Hawkes process to provide a Malliavin calculus for the Hawkes processes, and more generally for compound Hawkes processes. As an application, we close a gap in the literature by providing a quantitative Central Limit Theorem for the compound Hawkes process. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
