Abstract
Let be a real-valued random variable with distribution function . Set to be independent copies of and let be the corresponding empirical distribution function. We show that there are absolute constants and such that if , then with probability at least , for every that satisfies , Moreover, this estimate is optimal up to the multiplicative constants and .
