We show that for any metric probability space $(M,d,\mu)$ with a subgaussian constant $\sigma^2(\mu)$ and any set $A \subset M$ we have $\sigma^2(\mu_A) \leq c \log\left(e/\mu(A)\right)\,\sigma^2(\mu)$, where $\mu_A$ is a restriction of…

We prove an extension of McDiarmid's inequality for metric spaces with unbounded diameter. To this end, we introduce the notion of the {\em subgaussian diameter}, which is a distribution-dependent refinement of the metric diameter. Our…
