We derive normal approximation bounds for generalized $U$-statistics of the form \begin{equation*} S_{n,k}(f):=\sum_{ 1 \leq \beta (1),\dots,\beta (k) \leq n \atop \beta (i)\ne\beta (j), \ 1\leq i\ne j \leq k} f\big(X_{\beta…
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 obtain non asymptotic concentration bounds for two kinds of stochastic approximations. We first consider the deviations between the expectation of a given function of the Euler scheme of some diffusion process at a fixed deterministic…
In this paper, we show that the largest and smallest eigenvalues of a sample correlation matrix stemming from $n$ independent observations of a $p$-dimensional time series with iid components converge almost surely to $(1+\sqrt{\gamma})^2$…
Gaussian process ($GP$) regression is a widely used non-parametric modeling tool, but its cubic complexity in the training size limits its use on massive data sets. A practical remedy is to predict using only the nearest neighbours of each…
An old conjecture states that among all simplices inscribed in the unit sphere the regular one has the maximal mean width. An equivalent formulation is that for any centered Gaussian vector $(\xi_1,\dots,\xi_n)$ satisfying $\mathbb…
We study the Vitale zonoid (a convex body associated to a probability distribution) associated to a non--centered Gaussian vector. This defines a family of convex bodies, that contains and generalizes ellipsoids, which we call Gaussian…
We prove the four-dimensional Gaussian random vector maximum conjecture. This conjecture asserts that among all centered Gaussian random vectors $X=(X_1,X_2,X_3,X_4)$ with $E[X_i^2]=1$, $1\le i\le 4$, the expectation…
By combining the findings of two recent, seminal papers by Nualart, Peccati and Tudor, we get that the convergence in law of any sequence of vector-valued multiple integrals $F_n$ towards a centered Gaussian random vector $N$, with given…
In this work, we study the normal approximation and almost sure central limit theorems for some functionals of an independent sequence of Rademacher random variables. In particular, we provide a new chain rule that improves the one derived…
We consider $n\times n$ random matrices $M_{n}=\sum_{\alpha =1}^{m}{\tau _{\alpha }}\mathbf{y}_{\alpha }\otimes \mathbf{y}_{\alpha }$, where $\tau _{\alpha }\in \mathbb{R}$, $\{\mathbf{y}_{\alpha }\}_{\alpha =1}^{m}$ are i.i.d. isotropic…
We prove a pointwise version of the multi-dimensional central limit theorem for convex bodies. Namely, let X be an isotropic random vector in R^n with a log-concave density. For a typical subspace E in R^n of dimension n^c, consider the…
Assume that $X_{1}, \ldots, X_{N}$ is an $\varepsilon$-contaminated sample of $N$ independent Gaussian vectors in $\mathbb{R}^d$ with mean $\mu$ and covariance $\Sigma$. In the strong $\varepsilon$-contamination model we assume that the…
This paper develops fundamental limits of deep neural network learning by characterizing what is possible if no constraints are imposed on the learning algorithm and on the amount of training data. Concretely, we consider Kolmogorov-optimal…
Small regularizers can preserve linear programming solutions exactly. This paper provides the first average-case analysis of exact regularization: with a standard Gaussian cost vector and fixed constraint set, bounds are established for the…
The Gromov-Wasserstein distances were proposed a few years ago to compare distributions which do not lie in the same space. In particular, they offer an interesting alternative to the Wasserstein distances for comparing probability measures…
Let $Y=X_1+\cdots+X_N$ be a sum of a random number of exchangeable random variables, where the random variable $N$ is independent of the $X_j$, and the $X_j$ are from the generalized multinomial model introduced by Tallis (1962). This…
In this article, we first obtain, for the Kolmogorov distance, an error bound between a tempered stable and a compound Poisson distribution and also an error bound between a tempered stable and an alpha stable distribution via Stein method.…
We study weighted sums of free identically distributed self-adjoint random variables with weights chosen randomly from the unit sphere and show that the Kolmogorov distance between the distribution of such a weighted sum and Wigner's…
We construct optimal low-rank approximations for the Gaussian posterior distribution in linear Gaussian inverse problems with possibly infinite-dimensional separable Hilbert parameter spaces and finite-dimensional data spaces. We first…
