  "abstract": "We generalize the so-called density approach to Stein characterizations of probability distributions. We prove an elementary factorization property of the resulting Stein operator in terms of a generalized (standardized) score function. We use this result to connect Stein characterizations with information distances such as the generalized (standardized) Fisher information.",
