We derive two upper bounds for the probability of deviation of a vector-valued Lipschitz function of a collection of random variables from its expected value. The resulting upper bounds can be tighter than bounds obtained by a direct…

In this article, we derive concentration inequalities for the cross-validation estimate of the generalization error for subagged estimators, both for classification and regressor. General loss functions and class of predictors with both…

The phenomenon of entropy concentration provides strong support for the maximum entropy method, MaxEnt, for inferring a probability vector from information in the form of constraints. Here we extend this phenomenon, in a discrete setting,…

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 present examples of $p$-sub-exponential random variables for any positive $p$. We prove two types of concentration of standard $p$-norms ($2$-norm is the Euclidean norm) of random vectors with independent $p$-sub-exponential coordinates…

We obtain non asymptotic concentration bounds for two kinds of stochastic approximations. We first consider the deviations between the expectation of a given function of the Euler scheme of some diffusion process at a fixed deterministic…

We observe that the distribution of the eigenvalues of an $N$-by-$N$ GUE random matrix is log-concave on $\mathbb{R}^N$, and that the same is true for the law of a single gap between two consecutive eigenvalues. We use this observation to…

In this paper, we provide a proof for the Hanson-Wright inequalities for sparsified quadratic forms in subgaussian random variables. This provides useful concentration inequalities for sparse subgaussian random vectors in two ways. Let $X =…

A random vector whose norm and overlap (inner product with an independent copy) concentrates is shown to have random low-dimensional projections that are approximately random Gaussians. Conversely, asymptotically random Gaussian projections…

In this paper, we explore some links between transforms derived by Stein's method and concentration inequalities. In particular, we show that the stochastic domination of the zero bias transform of a random variable is equivalent to…

This note is concerned with concentration inequalities for extrema of stationary Gaussian processes. It provides non-asymptotic tail inequalities which fully reflect the fluctuation rate, and as such improve upon standard Gaussian…

In this paper, explicit error bounds are derived in the approximation of rank $k$ projections of certain $n$-dimensional random vectors by standard $k$-dimensional Gaussian random vectors. The bounds are given in terms of $k$, $n$, and a…

We prove concentration inequalities for $f\left( X\right) $ about its median, where $X$ is a random vector in $\mathbb{R}^n$ with independent heavy tailed coordinates of Weibull or power type, and $f:\mathbb{R}^n\rightarrow\mathbb{R}$ is a…
