How Biased Is Your Model? Concentration Inequalities, Information and Model Bias [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Information Theory, 2017 We derive tight and computable bounds on the bias of statistical estimators, or more generally of quantities of interest, when evaluated on a baseline model $P$ rather than on the typically unknown true model $Q$ .

BMC Public Health, 2019 Background Antenatal care (ANC) services are critical for maternal health but Nigeria performs poorly in ANC utilisation compared to other countries in sub-Saharan Africa.

New insights on concentration inequalities for self-normalized martingales [PDF]
Electronic Communications in Probability, 2018 We propose new concentration inequalities for self-normalized martingales. The main idea is to introduce a suitable weighted sum of the predictable quadratic variation and the total quadratic variation of the martingale.

Sparse space–time models: Concentration inequalities and Lasso [PDF]
Annales De L Institut Henri Poincare-probabilites Et Statistiques, 2018 Inspired by Kalikow-type decompositions, we introduce a new stochastic model of infinite neuronal networks, for which we establish sharp oracle inequalities for Lasso methods and restricted eigenvalue properties for the associated Gram matrix with high ...

Compound Poisson point processes, concentration and oracle inequalities
Journal of Inequalities and Applications, 2019 This note aims at presenting several new theoretical results for the compound Poisson point process, which follows the work of Zhang et al. (Insur. Math. Econ. 59:325–336, 2014).

Nonconventional moderate deviations theorems and exponential concentration inequalities [PDF]
Annales De L Institut Henri Poincare-probabilites Et Statistiques, 2018 We obtain moderate deviations theorems and exponential (Bernstein type) concentration inequalities for "nonconventional" sums of the form $S_N=\sum_{n=1}^N (F(\xi_{q_1(n)},\xi_{q_2(n)},...,\xi_{q_\ell(n)})-\bar F)$.

CONCENTRATION INEQUALITIES FOR GIBBS MEASURES [PDF]
Infinite Dimensional Analysis, Quantum Probability and Related Topics, 2011 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 assume that the one-site measure satisfies a modified log-Sobolev inequality with a constant ...
