Jun 28, 2021 at 17:00 comment added Iosif Pinelis @FinnLim : Oftentimes, the bounds on moments $E|X|^p$ are only available for large enough $p$. That is why I had this provision, $p>p_0$

Jun 28, 2021 at 16:27 comment added Uzu Lim Thank you for this. Is that a typo - does one replace $p_0$ in the infimum by just $0$ (which I believe then simply follows from Markov's inequality)?
Dec 1, 2015 at 20:07 comment added Iosif Pinelis I have expanded the remark about deriving bounds on tails from bounds on moments. Also, what is sometimes referred to as the Azuma inequality is in fact due entirely to Hoeffding (1963, Journal of the American Statistical Association) -- see Theorem 2 and the last paragraph of Section 2 therein.
