Reference Request: Total Variation Between Dependent and Independent Bernoulli Processes

Let $X$ be a random variable taking values in $\{0,1\}^n$ with the following distribution. For each coordinate $i$, we have $p_i = P(X_i = 1) = c/\sqrt n$, where $c$ is a (very small) constant. ...

Bounding quantiles of the noncentral chi distribution

I need to bound the empirical quantiles for a noncentral chi distribution (not chi-squared) $\chi_\nu(\lambda)$, where $\nu$ is the number of degrees of freedom and $\lambda$ the non-centrality ...

Taylor series expansion of quantile function

Suppose $Y$ and $Z$ two random variables, $\lambda \in \mathbb{R} $. We note $F^{-1}_{Y}(\alpha)$ the quantile function of the variable $Y$ at the quantile level $\alpha \in (0,1)$. Do you have any ...
