Abstract/Résumé:

An extension of Stein’s lemma to arbitrary random pairs was recently proposed in the preceding article. It is shown that this generalization is valid only for linear functions and hence trivial.

Une généralisation du lemme de Stein à toute paire d’aléas a récemment été proposée dans l’article précédent. On montre que cette extension n’est valable que pour les fonctions affines et qu’elle est donc triviale.
