Abstract

This paper derives new maximal inequalities for empirical processes associated with separately exchangeable random arrays. For fixed index dimension K1K\ge 1, we establish a global maximal inequality bounding the qq-th moment (q[1,)q\in[1,\infty)) of the supremum of these processes. We also obtain a refined local maximal inequality controlling the first absolute moment of the supremum. Both results are proved for a general pointwise measurable function class. Our approach uses a new technique partitioning the index set into transversal groups, decoupling dependencies and enabling more sophisticated higher moment bounds.
