In this talk I will present a novel approach using Stein’s method for exchangeable pairs that allows to derive a conditional central limit theorem of the form $(X_n|Y_n = k)$ with explicit rate of convergence as well as its extensions to a multidimensional setting. We will apply these results to particular models including pattern counts in a random binary sequence and subgraph counts in Erdös-Rényi random graph. This talk is based on joint work with Partha S. Dey.
