We prove a new concentration inequality for U-statistics of order two for uniformly ergodic Markov chains. Working with bounded and $\pi$-canonical kernels, we show that we can recover the convergence rate of Arcones and Gin{\'e} who proved…

A distributional symmetry is invariance of a distribution under a group of transformations. Exchangeability and stationarity are examples. We explain that a result of ergodic theory provides a law of large numbers: If the group satisfies…

We obtain a Bernstein-type inequality for sums of Banach-valued random variables satisfying a weak dependence assumption of general type and under certain smoothness assumptions of the underlying Banach norm. We use this inequality in order…

Bootstrap for nonlinear statistics like U-statistics of dependent data has been studied by several authors. This is typically done by producing a bootstrap version of the sample and plugging it into the statistic. We suggest an alternative…

Let $X_n=\sum_{i=1}^{\infty}a_i\epsilon_{n-i}$, where the $\epsilon_i$ are i.i.d. with mean 0 and at least finite second moment, and the $a_i$ are assumed to satisfy $|a_i|=O(i^{-\beta})$ with $\beta >1/2$. When $1/2<\beta<1$, $X_n$ is…

We observe a realization of a stationary generalized weighted Voronoi tessellation of the d-dimensional Euclidean space within a bounded observation window. Given a geometric characteristic of the typical cell, we use the minus-sampling…

In this paper, we consider U-statistics whose data is a strictly stationary sequence which can be expressed as a functional of an i.i.d. one. We establish a strong law of large numbers, a bounded law of the iterated logarithms and a central…

We consider solutions of stochastic differential equations which diverge to infinity as the time parameter goes to infinity. If the coefficients converge as the spacial variable goes to infinity, then the solutions will get close to some…

In the context of bounding probability of small deviation, there are limited general tools. However, such bounds have been widely applied in graph theory and inventory management. We introduce a common approach to substantially sharpen such…

We derive explicit Berry-Esseen bounds in the total variation distance for the Breuer-Major central limit theorem, in the case of a subordinating function $\varphi$ satisfying minimal regularity assumptions. Our approach is based on the…

The concentration inequality approach for normal approximation by Stein's method is generalized to the multivariate setting. We use this approach to prove a non-smooth function distance for multivariate normal approximation for standardized…

In the seventies, Charles Stein revolutionized the way of proving the Central Limit Theorem by introducing a method that utilizes a characterization equation for Gaussian distribution. In the last 50 years, much research has been done to…

Two-sample $U$-statistics are widely used in a broad range of applications, including those in the fields of biostatistics and econometrics. In this paper, we establish sharp Cram\'{e}r-type moderate deviation theorems for Studentized…

Let $\{{X}_k\}_{k\geq\mathbb{Z}}$ be a stationary sequence. Given $p\in(2,3]$ moments and a mild weak dependence condition, we show a Berry-Esseen theorem with optimal rate $n^{p/2-1}$. For $p\geq4$, we also show a convergence rate of…

We prove a Berry-Esseen bound in de Jong's classical CLT for normalized, completely degenerate $U$-statistics, which says that the convergence of the fourth moment sequence to three and a Lindeberg-Feller type negligibility condition are…

We study (asymmetric) $U$-statistics based on a stationary sequence of $m$-dependent variables; moreover, we consider constrained $U$-statistics, where the defining multiple sum only includes terms satisfying some restrictions on the gaps…

In this work, we provide a $(n/m)^{-1/2}$-rate finite sample Berry-Esseen bound for $m$-dependent high-dimensional random vectors over the class of hyper-rectangles. This bound imposes minimal assumptions on the random vectors such as…
