Abstract
The Stein's method, originally introduced by Stein (1972), gives us a novel way
to investigate normal approximation. This method has since been developed in
different areas and can be applied to different distributional approximations. It
is a very powerful tool to estimate the absolute error of approximations and also
the relative error.
In this thesis, we establish the uniform and non-uniform Berry-Esseen bound
for a class of Studentized statistics via Stein's method. In particular, we recover
the optimal results for Student's t-statistics, Studentized U-statistics and
Studentized L-statistics.
