In this work the $\ell_q$-norms of points chosen uniformly at random in a centered regular simplex in high dimensions are studied. Berry-Esseen bounds in the regime $1\leq q < \infty$ are derived and complemented by a non-central limit…

An exact upper bound on the Winsorised-tilted mean of a symmetric random variable in terms of its second moment is given. Such results are used in work on nonuniform Berry--Esseen-type bounds for general nonlinear statistics.

Nualart & Pecatti ([Nualart and Peccati, 2005, Thm 1]) established the first fourth-moment theorem for random variables in a fixed Wiener chaos, i.e. they showed that convergence of the sequence of fourth moments to the fourth moment of the…

Non-Gaussian likelihoods are essential for modelling complex real-world observations but pose significant computational challenges in learning and inference. Even with Gaussian priors, non-Gaussian likelihoods often lead to analytically…

In this article, we show that a linear combination $X$ of $n$ independent, unbiased Bernoulli random variables $\{X_k\}$ can match the first $2n$ moments of a random variable $Y$ which is uniform on an interval. More generally, for each $p…

We investigate the zero set of a stationary Gaussian process on the real line, and in particular give lower bounds for the variance of the number of points on a large interval, in all generality. We prove that this point process is never…

By Heyde's theorem, the class of Gaussian distributions on the real line is characterized by the symmetry of the conditional distribution of one linear form of independent random variables given another. We prove an analogue of this theorem…

We consider the problem of bounding large deviations for non-i.i.d. random variables that are allowed to have arbitrary dependencies. Previous works typically assumed a specific dependence structure, namely the existence of independent…

According to the well-known Heyde theorem, the Gaussian distribution on the real line is characterized by the symmetry of the conditional distribution of one linear form of $n$ independent random variables given another. In the article, we…

High-dimensional linear models have been widely studied, but the developments in high-dimensional generalized linear models, or GLMs, have been slower. In this paper, we propose an empirical or data-driven prior leading to an empirical…
