In this note, we derive concentration inequalities for random vectors with subGaussian norm (a generalization of both subGaussian random vectors and norm bounded random vectors), which are tight up to logarithmic factors.

In non-asymptotic learning, variance-type parameters of sub-Gaussian distributions are of paramount importance. However, directly estimating these parameters using the empirical moment generating function (MGF) is infeasible. To address…

We introduce a nonasymptotic framework for sub-Poisson distributions with moment generating function dominated by that of a Poisson distribution. At its core is a new notion of optimal sub-Poisson variance proxy, analogous to the variance…

This note describes the concentration phenomenon for a high dimensional sub-gaussian vector \( X \). In the Gaussian case, for any linear operator \( Q \), it holds \( P\bigl( \| Q X \|^{2} - tr (B) > 2 \sqrt{x\, tr(B^{2})} + 2 \| B \| x…

We study the problem of estimating the mean of a random vector $X$ given a sample of $N$ independent, identically distributed points. We introduce a new estimator that achieves a purely sub-Gaussian performance under the only condition that…
