Let $a_n$ be the random increasing sequence of natural numbers which takes each value independently with decreasing probability of order $n^{-\alpha}$, $0 < \alpha < 1/2$. We prove that, almost surely, for every measure-preserving system…

The relationship between overparameterization, stability, and generalization remains incompletely understood in the setting of discontinuous classifiers. We address this gap by establishing a generalization bound for finite function classes…

In this paper we derive a Large Deviation Principle (LDP) for inhomogeneous U/V-statistics of a general order. Using this, we derive a LDP for two types of statistics: random multilinear forms, and number of monochromatic copies of a…

For $\alpha\in (1,2)$, we present a generalized central limit theorem for $\alpha$-stable random variables under sublinear expectation. The foundation of our proof is an interior regularity estimate for partial integro-differential…

The aim of this paper is to show the interest in fitting features with an $\alpha$-stable distribution to classify imperfect data. The supervised pattern recognition is thus based on the theory of continuous belief functions, which is a way…

Let $p \in (0, \infty)$ be a constant and let $\{\xi_n\} \subset L^p(\Omega, {\mathcal F}, \P)$ be a sequence of random variables. For any integers $m, n \ge 0$, denote $S_{m, n} = \sum_{k=m}^{m + n} \xi_k$. It is proved that, if there…

Algorithmic stability is a key characteristic to ensure the generalization ability of a learning algorithm. Among different notions of stability, \emph{uniform stability} is arguably the most popular one, which yields exponential…

By the Lindeberg principle, we develop in this paper an approximation to one dimensional (possibly) asymmetric $\alpha$-stable distributions with $\alpha \in (0,2)$ in the smooth Wasserstein distance. It is the first time that the general…

Let $Z=\{Z(t): t\in \mathbb R\}$ be a stochastic process with trajectories in space $\mathbb D (\mathbb R)$. It is assumed that there exists an essentially smooth function $A:\mathbb R\to (-\infty, \infty] $ such that, for all $\alpha \in…

We provide finite-sample distribution approximations, that are uniform in the parameter, for inference in linear mixed models. Focus is on variances and covariances of random effects in cases where existing theory fails because their…

This paper discusses a general and useful stability principle which, roughly speaking, says that given a uniformly continuous function defined on an arbitrary metric space, if the function is bounded on the constraint set and we slightly…

In various disordered systems or non-equilibrium dynamical models, the large deviations of some observables have been found to display different scalings for rare values bigger or smaller than the typical value. In the present paper, we…

We consider a stationary linear AR($p$) model with observations subject to gross errors (outliers). The autoregression parameters as well as the distribution function (d.f.) $G$ of innovations are unknown. The distribution of outliers $\Pi$…

Given an arbitrary planar $\infty$-harmonic function $u$, for each $\alpha>0$ we establish a quantitative local $W^{1,2}$-estimate of $|Du|^\alpha $, which is sharp as $\alpha\to0$. We also show that the distributional determinant of $u$ is…

Let $0 < p < 2$. Let $\{X, X_{n}; n \geq 1\}$ be a sequence of independent and identically distributed $\mathbf{B}$-valued random variables and set $S_{n} = \sum_{i=1}^{n}X_{i},~n \geq 1$. In this paper, a supplement to the classical laws…

We prove that every uniform approximate homomorphism from a discrete amenable group into a symmetric group is uniformly close to a homomorphism into a slightly larger symmetric group. That is, amenable groups are uniformly flexibly stable…

Consider supervised learning from i.i.d. samples $\{{\boldsymbol x}_i,y_i\}_{i\le n}$ where ${\boldsymbol x}_i \in\mathbb{R}^p$ are feature vectors and ${y} \in \mathbb{R}$ are labels. We study empirical risk minimization over a class of…
