Concentration of empirical distribution functions with applications to non-i.i.d. models

Statistics Theory 2010-11-30 v1 Statistics Theory

Abstract

The concentration of empirical measures is studied for dependent data, whose joint distribution satisfies Poincar\'{e}-type or logarithmic Sobolev inequalities. The general concentration results are then applied to spectral empirical distribution functions associated with high-dimensional random matrices.
