Accurate statistical inference in logistic regression models remains a critical challenge when the ratio between the number of parameters and sample size is not negligible. This is because approximations based on either classical asymptotic…

We establish higher-order nonasymptotic expansions for a difference between probability distributions of sums of i.i.d. random vectors in a Euclidean space. The derived bounds are uniform over two classes of sets: the set of all Euclidean…

Inference for functional linear models in the presence of heteroscedastic errors has received insufficient attention given its practical importance; in fact, even a central limit theorem has not been studied in this case. At issue,…

Let $X_1,\dots,X_n$ be independent centered random vectors in $\mathbb{R}^d$. This paper shows that, even when $d$ may grow with $n$, the probability $P(n^{-1/2}\sum_{i=1}^nX_i\in A)$ can be approximated by its Gaussian analog uniformly in…
