Jun 29, 2016 at 16:16 comment added Iosif Pinelis I think the characterization of the bound needs to be much more specific than "very tight". Perhaps you can do some numerical experiments and come up with a specific conjecture
Jun 29, 2016 at 15:31 comment added Wuchen Sorry for the misleading term. I have deleted "sharpest". My intention was to get a very tight bound about the tail probabilities. Thank you!

Jun 29, 2016 at 15:19 comment added Iosif Pinelis What do you mean, specifically, by "the sharpest tail bound"? Without specifying desirable properties of the bound, one can always consider any expression to be the sharpest bound on itself.
