Concentration inequalities for measures of a Boolean model

Probability 2017-03-16 v1

Abstract

We consider a Boolean model ZZ driven by a Poisson particle process η\eta on a metric space Y\mathbb{Y}. We study the random variable ρ(Z)\rho(Z), where ρ\rho is a (deterministic) measure on Y\mathbb{Y}. Due to the interaction of overlapping particles, the distribution of ρ(Z)\rho(Z) cannot be described explicitly. In this note we derive concentration inequalities for ρ(Z)\rho(Z). To this end we first prove two concentration inequalities for functions of a Poisson process on a general phase space.
