Two proofs of the Koml\'os-Major-Tusn\'ady embedding theorems, one for the uniform empirical process and one for the simple symmetric random walk, are given. More precisely, what are proved are the univariate coupling results needed in the…
The Koml\'os$\unicode{x2013}$Major$\unicode{x2013}$Tusn\'ady (KMT) inequality for partial sums is one of the most celebrated results in probability theory. Yet its practical application has been hindered by a lack of practical constants.…

We present nonasymptotic concentration inequalities for sums of independent and identically distributed random variables that yield asymptotic strong Gaussian approximations of Koml\'os, Major, and Tusn\'ady (KMT) [1975,1976]. The constants…
We establish a strong Gaussian approximation for high-dimensional non-degenerate U-statistics with diverging dimension. Under mild assumptions, we construct, on a sufficiently rich probability space, a Gaussian process that uniformly…
We introduce a new technique to establish Hungarian multivariate theorems. In this article we apply this technique to the strong approximation bivariate theorems of the uniform empirical process. It improves the Komlos, Major and Tusn\'ady…
We prove a non-asymptotic generalization of the refined continuity correction developed in Cressie (1978) for the Binomial distribution, which we then use to improve the versions of Tusn\'ady's inequality from Massart (2002) and Carter &…

We prove several trace inequalities that extend the Araki Lieb Thirring (ALT) inequality, Golden Thompson (GT) inequality and logarithmic trace inequality to arbitrary many tensors. Our approaches rely on complex interpolation theory as…
We review various inequalities for Mills' ratio (1 - \Phi)/\phi, where \phi and \Phi denote the standard Gaussian density and distribution function, respectively. Elementary considerations involving finite continued fractions lead to a…
We propose the Bayesian bridge estimator for regularized regression and classification. Two key mixture representations for the Bayesian bridge model are developed: (1) a scale mixture of normals with respect to an alpha-stable random…
In this paper, we are concerned with higher-order analogues of the Tracy-Widom distribution, which describe the eigenvalue distributions in unitary random matrix models near critical edge points. The associated kernels are constructed by…
The main purpose of this paper is to investigate the strong approximation of the $p$-fold integrated empirical process, $p$ being a fixed positive integer. More precisely, we obtain the exact rate of the approximations by a sequence of…
We study the statistical inference problem for a complex $\alpha$-fractional Brownian bridge process $Z$ defined by the stochastic differential equation \[ \mathrm{d}Z_t = -\alpha \frac{Z_t}{T - t} \mathrm{d}t + \mathrm{d}\zeta_t, \quad t…
The Tukey-$\lambda$ distribution has interesting properties including (i) for some parameters values it has finite support, and for others infinite support, and (ii) it can mimic several other distributions such that parameter estimation…
Posterior distributions often feature intractable normalizing constants, called marginal likelihoods or evidence, that are useful for model comparison via Bayes factors. This has motivated a number of methods for estimating ratios of…
The marginal likelihood plays an important role in many areas of Bayesian statistics such as parameter estimation, model comparison, and model averaging. In most applications, however, the marginal likelihood is not analytically tractable…

A classical limit theorem of stochastic process theory concerns the sample cumulative distribution function (CDF) from independent random variables. If the variables are uniformly distributed then these centered CDFs converge in a suitable…
