This talk was divided into two parts. We began by showing some examples of use of the generalized inverse Gaussian (GIG) distribution in statistics. The second part of the talk discussed the (unsolved) problem of a possible use of the so-called Stein's method in deriving rates of convergence to the GIG distribution.
