Concentration inequalities for order statistics [PDF]
This note describes non-asymptotic variance and tail bounds for order statistics of samples of independent identically distributed random variables. Those bounds are checked to be asymptotically tight when the sampling distribution belongs to a maximum ...

CONCENTRATION INEQUALITIES FOR GIBBS MEASURES [PDF]
We are interested in Sobolev type inequalities and their relationship with concentration properties on higher dimensions. We consider unbounded spin systems on the d-dimensional lattice with interactions that increase slower than a quadratic. At first we

Second-Order Matrix Concentration Inequalities [PDF]
Matrix concentration inequalities give bounds for the spectral-norm deviation of a random matrix from its expected value. These results have a weak dimensional dependence that is sometimes, but not always, necessary.

Concentration inequalities for random fields via coupling [PDF]
We present a new and simple approach to concentration inequalities for functions around their expectation with respect to non-product measures, i.e., for dependent random variables.

Equivalence of concentration inequalities for linear and non-linear functions [PDF]
We consider a random variable $X$ that takes values in a (possibly infinite-dimensional) topological vector space $\mathcal{X}$. We show that, with respect to an appropriate "normal distance" on $\mathcal{X}$, concentration inequalities for linear and ...

Bernstein type's concentration inequalities for symmetric Markov processes [PDF]
Using the method of transportation-information inequality introduced in \cite{GLWY}, we establish Bernstein type's concentration inequalities for empirical means $\frac 1t \int_0^t g(X_s)ds$ where $g$ is a unbounded observable of the symmetric Markov ...

Measure concentration through non-Lipschitz observables and functional inequalities [PDF]
Non-Gaussian concentration estimates are obtained for invariant probability measures of reversible Markov processes. We show that the functional inequalities approach combined with a suitable Lyapunov condition allows us to circumvent the classical ...

Socio-economic inequalities in malaria prevalence among under-five children in Ghana between 2016 and 2019: a decomposition analysis [PDF]
Background In a country with limited and unequally distributed resources, and plagued with malaria annually, under-five children are severely affected by this disease in Ghana.

Deviation bounds and concentration inequalities for quantum noises [PDF]
We provide a stochastic interpretation of non-commutative Dirichlet forms in the context of quantum filtering. For stochastic processes motivated by quantum optics experiments, we derive an optimal finite time deviation bound expressed in terms of the ...
