Freedman's inequality is a supermartingale counterpart to Bennett's inequality. This result shows that the tail probabilities of a supermartingale is controlled by the quadratic characteristic and a uniform upper bound for the…

In this paper, we obtain uniform bounds for a number of expressions that involve derivatives and integrals of modified Bessel functions. These uniform bounds are motivated by the need to bound such expressions in the study of variance-gamma…

Consider a discrete-time martingale, and let $V^2$ be its normalized quadratic variation. As $V^2$ approaches 1, and provided that some Lindeberg condition is satisfied, the distribution of the rescaled martingale approaches the Gaussian…

Using the subordination approach, we provide a new Berry-Esseen-type estimate in the free central limit theorem in terms of the fourth Lyapunov fraction. In the special case of identical distributions, our result implies a rate of order…

In this paper, we establish explicit quantitative Berry-Esseen bounds in the hyper-rectangle distance $d_R$, the convex distance $d_{\mathscr{C}}$ and the $1$-Wasserstein distance $d_W$ for high-dimensional, non-linear functionals of…

Uniform and nonuniform Berry--Esseen (BE) bounds of optimal orders on the closeness to normality for general abstract nonlinear statistics are given, which are then used to obtain optimal bounds on the rate of convergence in the delta…

In this article we derive the best possible upper bound for $E[\max{X_i}-\min_i{X_i}]$ under given means and variances on $n$ random variables $X_i$. The random vector $(X_1,...,X_n)$ is allowed to have any dependence structure, provided $E…

We establish nonuniform Berry-Esseen (B-E) bounds for Studentized U-statistics of the rate $1/\sqrt{n}$ under a third-moment assumption, which covers the t-statistic that corresponds to a kernel of degree $1$ as a special case. While an…

There is a growing interest in the so-called Bayesian Predictive Inference approach, which allows to perform Bayesian inference without specifying the likelihood and prior of the model, or the need of any MCMC. Instead, only a sequence of…

We derive a Fuk-Nagaev inequality for the maxima of norms of martingale sequences in smooth Banach spaces which allow for a finite number of higher conditional moments. The bound is obtained by combining an optimization approach for a…

If one seeks to estimate the total variation between two product measures $||P^\otimes_{1:n}-Q^\otimes_{1:n}||$ in terms of their marginal TV sequence $\delta=(||P_1-Q_1||,||P_2-Q_2||,\ldots,||P_n-Q_n||)$, then trivial upper and lower…

The paper is concerned with approximating the distribution of a sum W of n integer valued random variables Y_i, whose distributions depend on the state of an underlying Markov chain X. The approximation is in terms of a translated Poisson…
