We consider empirical measures of $\R^{d}$-valued stochastic process in finite discrete-time. We show that the adapted empirical measure introduced in the recent work \cite{backhoff2022estimating} by Backhoff et al. in compact spaces can be…
In this paper we consider the problem of uniformity testing with limited memory. We observe a sequence of independent identically distributed random variables drawn from a distribution $p$ over $[n]$, which is either uniform or is…
Let $\mu$ be an Ahlfors-David probability measure on $\mathbb{R}^q$, namely, there exist some constants $s_0>0$ and $\epsilon_0,C_1,C_2>0$ such that \[ C_1\epsilon^{s_0}\leq\mu(B(x,\epsilon))\leq…
We consider approximating a measure by a parameterized curve subject to length penalization. That is for a given finite positive compactly supported measure $\mu$, for $p \geq 1$ and $\lambda>0$ we consider the functional \[ E(\gamma) =…
Estimating the rate of convergence of the empirical measure of an i.i.d. sample to the reference measure is a classical problem in probability theory. Extending recent results of Ambrosio, Stra and Trevisan on 2-dimensional manifolds, in…
Discrepancy measures between probability distributions, often termed statistical distances, are ubiquitous in probability theory, statistics and machine learning. To combat the curse of dimensionality when estimating these distances from…
In this work, we provide non-asymptotic bounds for the average speed of convergence of the empirical measure in the law of large numbers, in Wasserstein distance. We also consider occupation measures of ergodic Markov chains. One motivation…
We establish asymptotic upper and lower bounds for the Wasserstein distance of any order $p\ge 1$ between the empirical measure of a fractional Brownian motion on a flat torus and the uniform Lebesgue measure. Our inequalities reveal an…
This article is a continuation of the papers [8,9] in which the optimal matching problem, and the related rates of convergence of empirical measures for Gaussian samples are addressed. A further step in both the dimensional and Kantorovich…
We provide upper bounds of the expected Wasserstein distance between a probability measure and its empirical version, generalizing recent results for finite dimensional Euclidean spaces and bounded functional spaces. Such a generalization…
The object of this paper is to study estimates of $\epsilon^{-q}W_p(\mu+\epsilon\nu, \mu)$ for small $\epsilon>0$. Here $W_p$ is the Wasserstein metric on positive measures, $p>1$, $\mu$ is a probability measure and $\nu$ a signed, neutral…
We propose a "decomposition method" to prove non-asymptotic bound for the convergence of empirical measures in various dual norms. The main point is to show that if one measures convergence in duality with sufficiently regular observables,…
This paper studies convergence of empirical measures smoothed by a Gaussian kernel. Specifically, consider approximating $P\ast\mathcal{N}_\sigma$, for $\mathcal{N}_\sigma\triangleq\mathcal{N}(0,\sigma^2 \mathrm{I}_d)$, by…
The asymptotic behaviour of empirical measures has been studied extensively. In this paper, we consider empirical measures of given subordinated processes on complete (not necessarily compact) and connected Riemannian manifolds with…
This paper derives non-asymptotic error bounds for nonlinear stochastic approximation algorithms in the Wasserstein-$p$ distance. To obtain explicit finite-sample guarantees for the last iterate, we develop a coupling argument that compares…
This paper deals with the estimation of a probability measure on the real line from data observed with an additive noise. We are interested in rates of convergence for the Wasserstein metric of order $p\geq 1$. The distribution of the…
We study the perturbation of a measure $\mu \in \mathscr{P}(\mathbb{R})$ consisting in superposing two copies of $\mu$, each slightly shifted by a small distance $\pm h$. The difference between $\mu$ and its perturbation is measured with a…

Random measures provide flexible parameters for Bayesian nonparametric models. Given two different priors for a random measure, we develop a natural framework to investigate the rate at which the corresponding posteriors merge, as the…
We establish exact rates of convergence in the $p$-Wasserstein distance for the empirical measure of a class of non-symmetric jump processes, which are subordinated to a diffusion process on a compact Riemannian manifold. For the quadratic…
