Abstract: We propose a way of finding a Stein type characterization of a given absolutely continuous distribution $mu$ on $R$ which is motivated by a regression property satisfied by an exchangeable pair $(W,W^{\prime })$ where $calL(W)$ is supposed or known to be close to $mu$. We also develop the exchangeable pairs approach within this setting. This general procedure is then specialized to the class of Beta distributions and as an application, a convergence rate for the relative number of drawn red balls among the first $n$ drawings from a Polya urn is computed.
