We prove a multivariate version of Hoeffding's inequality about the distribution of homogeneous polynomials of Rademacher functions. The proof is based on such an estimate about the moments of homogeneous polynomials of Rademacher functions…

We consider a random variable $X$ that takes values in a (possibly infinite-dimensional) topological vector space $\mathcal{X}$. We show that, with respect to an appropriate "normal distance" on $\mathcal{X}$, concentration inequalities for…

We propose new concentration inequalities for self-normalized martingales. The main idea is to introduce a suitable weighted sum of the predictable quadratic variation and the total quadratic variation of the martingale. It offers much more…
