Relative entropy minimization over Hilbert spaces via Robbins-Monro

One way of getting insight into non-Gaussian measures is to first obtain good Gaussian approximations. These best fit Gaussians can then provide a sense of the mean and variance of the distribution of interest. They can also be used to accelerate sampling algorithms. This begs the question of how on...
