Quantitative concentration inequalities for empirical measures on non-compact spaces

Probability 2013-09-19 v1

Abstract

We establish some quantitative concentration estimates for the empirical measure of many independent variables, in transportation distances. As an application, we provide some error bounds for particle simulations in a model mean field problem. The tools include coupling arguments, as well as regularity and moments estimates for solutions of certain diffusive partial differential equations.
