Suppose that $\mathbf X_n=(x_{jk})$ is $N\times n$ whose elements are independent real variables with mean zero, variance 1 and the fourth moment equal to three. The separable sample covariance matrix is defined as $\mathbf{B}_n =…

We consider the problem of approximating sums of high-dimensional stationary time series by Gaussian vectors, using the framework of functional dependence measure. The validity of the Gaussian approximation depends on the sample size $n$,…

This paper derives non-asymptotic error bounds for nonlinear stochastic approximation algorithms in the Wasserstein-$p$ distance. To obtain explicit finite-sample guarantees for the last iterate, we develop a coupling argument that compares…

A soft random graph $G(n,r,p)$ can be obtained from the random geometric graph $G(n,r)$ by keeping every edge in $G(n,r)$ with probability $p$. The soft random simplicial complexes is a model for random simplicial complexes built over the…

Concentration inequalities for the sample mean, like those due to Bernstein, Hoeffding, and Bentkus, are valid for any sample size but overly conservative, yielding confidence intervals that are unnecessarily wide. The central limit theorem…

We study central limit theorems for linear statistics in high-dimensional Bayesian linear regression with product priors. Unlike the existing literature where the focus is on posterior contraction, we work under a non-contracting regime…

We prove the Central Limit Theorem for finite-dimensional vectors of linear eigenvalue statistics of submatrices of Wigner random matrices under the assumption that test functions are sufficiently smooth. We connect the asymptotic…

In Part I of this article (Banerjee and Kuchibhotla (2023)), we have introduced a new method to bound the difference in expectations of an average of independent random vector and the limiting Gaussian random vector using level sets. In the…

Variation of empirical Fr\'echet means on a metric space with curvature bounded above is encoded via random fields indexed by unit tangent vectors. A central limit theorem shows these random tangent fields converge to a Gaussian such field…

In this paper, we obtain sufficient conditions in terms of projective criteria under which the partial sums of a stationary process with values in ${\mathcal{H}}$ (a real and separable Hilbert space) admits an approximation, in…

The identification of the dependent components in multiple data sets is a fundamental problem in many practical applications. The challenge in these applications is that often the data sets are high-dimensional with few observations or…

Let $X_1,\ldots,X_N$, $N>n$, be independent random points in $\mathbb{R}^n$, distributed according to the so-called beta or beta-prime distribution, respectively. We establish threshold phenomena for the volume, intrinsic volumes, or more…

A "law of large numbers" for consecutive convex hulls for weakly dependent Gaussian sequences $\{X_n\}$, having the same marginal distribution, is extended to the case when the sequence $\{X_n\}$ has a weak limit. Let $\mathbb{B}$ be a…

Nearest neighbor cells in $R^d,d\in\mathbb{N}$, are used to define coefficients of divergence ($\phi$-divergences) between continuous multivariate samples. For large sample sizes, such distances are shown to be asymptotically normal with a…

We consider the performance of the bootstrap in high-dimensions for the setting of linear regression, where $p<n$ but $p/n$ is not close to zero. We consider ordinary least-squares as well as robust regression methods and adopt a minimalist…

Let $n>m$, and let $A$ be an $(m\times n)$-matrix of full rank. Then obviously the estimate $\|Ax\|\leq\|A\|\|x\|$ holds for the euclidean norm of $x$ and $Ax$ and the spectral norm as the assigned matrix norm. We study the sets of all $x$…
