In this paper, we give estimates of the minimal ${\mathbb{L}}^1$ distance between the distribution of the normalized partial sum and the limiting Gaussian distribution for stationary sequences satisfying projective criteria in the style of…
We prove the four-dimensional Gaussian random vector maximum conjecture. This conjecture asserts that among all centered Gaussian random vectors $X=(X_1,X_2,X_3,X_4)$ with $E[X_i^2]=1$, $1\le i\le 4$, the expectation…
The convolution of a Gaussian and a Cauchy distribution, known as the Voigt distribution, is widely used in spectroscopy and provides a natural framework for modeling heavy-tailed measurement noise. We derive analytical expressions for its…
A multidimensional version of the results of Koml\'os, Major and Tusn\'ady for sums of independent random vectors with finite exponential moments is obtained in the particular case where the summands have smooth distributions which are…

In this article, we study the critical growth rates of dimension below which Gaussian critical values can be used for hypothesis testing but beyond which they cannot. We are particularly interested in how these growth rates depend on the…
We address the problem of proving a Central Limit Theorem for the empirical optimal transport cost, $\sqrt{n}\{\mathcal{T}_c(P_n,Q)-\mathcal{W}_c(P,Q)\}$, in the semi discrete case, i.e when the distribution $P$ is finitely supported. We…
Conditional Density Estimation (CDE) models deal with estimating conditional distributions. The conditions imposed on the distribution are the inputs of the model. CDE is a challenging task as there is a fundamental trade-off between model…
Projection predictive inference is a decision theoretic Bayesian approach that decouples model estimation from decision making. Given a reference model previously built including all variables present in the data, projection predictive…
The generalization gap of a classifier is related to the complexity of the set of functions among which the classifier is chosen. We study a family of low-complexity classifiers consisting of thresholding a random one-dimensional feature.…
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…
Gaussian random vectors exhibit the loss of dimension phenomena, which relate to their joint survival tail behaviour. Besides, the fact that the components of such vectors are light-tailed complicates the approximations of various…
We consider Canonical Gibbsian ensembles of Euler point vortices on the 2-dimensional torus or in a bounded domain of R 2 . We prove that under the Central Limit scaling of vortices intensities, and provided that the system has zero global…
The metric properties of the set in which random variables take their values lead to relevant probabilistic concepts. For example, the mean of a random variable is a best predictor in that it minimizes the standard Euclidean distance or…
Recent years have witnessed much progress on Gaussian and bootstrap approximations to the distribution of sums of independent random vectors with dimension $d$ large relative to the sample size $n$. However, for any number of moments $m>2$…
We develop a projected Wasserstein distance for the two-sample test, a fundamental problem in statistics and machine learning: given two sets of samples, to determine whether they are from the same distribution. In particular, we aim to…
We present upper and lower bounds for the prediction error of the Lasso. For the case of random Gaussian design, we show that under mild conditions the prediction error of the Lasso is up to smaller order terms dominated by the prediction…
The geometric median, a notion of center for multivariate distributions, has gained recent attention in robust statistics and machine learning. Although conceptually distinct from the mean (i.e., expectation), we demonstrate that both are…
We study linear chance-constrained problems where the coefficients follow a Gaussian mixture distribution. We provide mixed-binary quadratic programs that give inner and outer approximations of the chance constraint based on piecewise…
We consider the number of edge crossings in a random graph drawing generated by projecting a random geometric graph on some compact convex set $W\subset \mathbb{R}^d$, $d\geq 3$, onto a plane. The positions of these crossings form the…
