Another look at Stein's method for Studentized nonlinear statistics with an application to U-statistics

Statistics Theory 2025-09-04 v5 Statistics Theory

Abstract

We take another look at using Stein's method to establish uniform Berry-Esseen bounds for Studentized nonlinear statistics, highlighting variable censoring and an exponential randomized concentration inequality for a sum of censored variables as the essential tools to carry the arguments involved. As an important application, we prove a uniform Berry-Esseen bound for Studentized U-statistics in a form that exhibits the dependence on the degree of the kernel.
