We study the self-normalized concentration of vector-valued stochastic processes. We focus on bounds for "sub-$\psi$" processes, a well-known and quite general class of process that encompasses a wide variety of well-known tail conditions…

We prove an upper bound on the Wassertein distance between normalized martingales and the standard normal random variable, which extends a result of R\"ollin [Statist. Probabil. Lett. 138 (2018) 171-176]. The proof is based on a method of…
