RT info:eu-repo/semantics/article T1 An Improved Central Limit Theorem and Fast Convergence Rates for Entropic Transportation Costs A1 del Barrio, Eustasio A1 Sanz, Alberto González A1 Loubes, Jean-Michel A1 Niles-Weed, Jonathan K1 Estadística K1 Probabilidad K1 optimal transport, entropic regularization, central limit theorem, Sinkhorn divergence AB We prove a central limit theorem for the entropic transportation cost between subgaussian probability measures, centered at the population cost. This is the first result which allows for asymptotically valid inference for entropic optimal transport between measures which are not necessarily discrete. In the compactly supported case, we complement these results with new, faster, convergence rates for the expected entropic transportation cost between empirical measures. Our proof is based on strengthening convergence results for dual solutions to the entropic optimal transport problem.
