Tree/Endofunction Bijections and Concentration Inequalities
The Electronic Journal of Combinatorics, 2022 We demonstrate a method for proving precise concentration inequalities in uniformly random trees on $n$ vertices, where $n\geq1$ is a fixed positive integer. The method uses a bijection between mappings $f\colon\{1,\ldots,n\}\to\{1,\ldots,n\}$ and doubly rooted trees on $n$ vertices.

How Video‐Based Information Affects Farmers' Willingness to Pay for Drone Services
Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Professional service for digital technology like agricultural drones lowers transaction costs and scope thresholds for smallholders. Meanwhile, perceptual adoption barriers remain underexplored. We conduct a two‐stage choice experiment with a randomized video‐based information treatment among 384 Chinese crop farmers to measure its effect on ...

An evolution of socioeconomic related inequality in teenage pregnancy and childbearing in Malawi.
PLoS ONE, 2019 BackgroundTeenage pregnancies and childbearing are important health concerns in low-and middle-income countries (LMICs) including Malawi. Addressing these challenges requires, among other things, an understanding of the socioeconomic determinants of and ...

Concentration of measure principle and entropy-inequalities
, 2017 International audienceThe concentration measure principle is presented in an abstract way to encompass and unify different concentration properties. We give a general overview of the links between concentration properties, transport-entropy inequalities,

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Cultural capital influences a wide range of social and economic outcomes, yet quantitative measures suitable for policy analysis remain limited. We develop county‐level cultural capital indices for the US based on Bourdieu's framework of objectified, embodied, and institutionalized cultural capital.

Concentration inequalities and martingale inequalities – a survey
, 2008 We examine a number of generalized and extended versions of concentration inequalities and martingale inequalities. These inequalities are effective for analyzing processes with quite general conditions as illustrated in an example for an infinite Polya ...

Concentration inequalities for suprema of unbounded empirical processes
, 2021 International audienceIn this paper, we provide new concentration inequalities for suprema of (possibly) non-centered and unbounded empirical processes associated with independent and identically distributed random variables.
