We develop a new approach to prove multiplier theorems in various geometric settings. The main idea is to use martingale transforms and a Gundy-Varopoulos representation for multipliers defined via a suitable extension procedure. Along the…
The Markov-Bernstein type inequalities between the norms of functions and of their derivatives are analysed for complex exponential polynomials. We establish a relation between the sharp constants in those inequalities and the stability…
This paper examines the foundational concept of random variables in probability theory and statistical inference, demonstrating that their mathematical definition requires no reference to randomization or hypothetical repeated sampling. We…
In this work we introduce a general approach, based on the mar-tingale representation of a sampling design and Azuma-Hoeffding's inequality , to derive exponential inequalities for the difference between a Horvitz-Thompson estimator and its…
We derive simple concentration inequalities for bounded random vectors, which generalize Hoeffding's inequalities for bounded scalar random variables. As applications, we apply the general results to multinomial and Dirichlet distributions…
We derive inequalities for time-discrete and time-continuous martingales that are similar to the well-known Burkholder inequalities. For the time-discrete case arbitrary martingales in $L^p(\Omega)$ are treated, whereas in the…
We study Martin-L\"{o}f random (ML-random) points on computable probability measures on sample and parameter spaces (Bayes models). We consider variants of conditional randomness defined by ML-randomness on Bayes models and those of…
In this paper, we develop a general theory on the coverage probability of random intervals defined in terms of discrete random variables with continuous parameter spaces. The theory shows that the minimum coverage probabilities of random…
We begin the study of how to extend few variable means to several variable ones and how to shrink means of several variables to less variables. With the help of one of the techniques we show that it is enough to check an inequality between…
The likelihood for the parameters of a generalized linear mixed model involves an integral which may be of very high dimension. Because of this intractability, many approximations to the likelihood have been proposed, but all can fail when…
It is shown that at least 50% of the probability mass of a sum of independent Rademacher random variables is within one standard deviation from its mean. This lower bound is sharp, it is much better than for instance the bound that can be…
The integral representation theorem for martingales has been widely used in probability theory. In this work, we propose and prove a general representation theorem for a class of set-valued submartingales. We also extend the stochastic…
We obtain results concerning the so-called factorization for the convergence of random variables almost everywhere (almost surely or with probability one), belonging to the classical Lebesgue-Riesz spaces and we extend these results to the…
We propose several exponential inequalities for self-normalized martingales similar to those established by De la Pe\~{n}a. The keystone is the introduction of a new notion of random variable heavy on left or right. Applications associated…
The usual way of testing probability forecasts in game-theoretic probability is via construction of test martingales. The standard assumption is that all forecasts are output by the same forecaster. In this paper I will discuss possible…
Following the initial work by Robbins, we rigorously present an extended theory of nonnegative supermartingales, requiring neither integrability nor finiteness. In particular, we derive a key maximal inequality foreshadowed by Robbins,…
We generalise the randomness test definitions in the literature for both the Martin-L\"of and Schnorr randomness of a series of binary outcomes, in order to allow for interval-valued rather than merely precise forecasts for these outcomes,…
In this paper we will give a categorical proof of the Radon-Nikodym theorem. We will do this by describing the trivial version of the result on finite probability spaces as a natural isomorphism. We then proceed to Kan extend this…
Plunnecke's inequality is the standard tool to obtain estimates on the cardinality of sumsets and has many applications in additive combinatorics. We present a new proof. The main novelty is that the proof is completed with no reference to…
Martingales constitute a basic tool in stochastic analysis; this paper considers their application to counting processes. We use this tool to revisit a renewal theorem and its extensions for various counting processes. We first consider a…
