Let $v$ be a given vector with $\|v\|_{\Sigma^{-1}} \leq 1$, where $\Sigma$ is a positive semi-definite matrix and $\|v\|_{\Sigma^{-1}} = \sqrt{v^\top\Sigma v}$. Meanwhile, let $u$ be a random vector ...

I have a question like this: Consider $N$ samples $X_1, X_2, ..., X_N$ that uniformly random generated from standard basis $\{e_i, i=1,2,...,d\}$, i.e. $(1,0,0,\cdots,0),(0,1,0,\cdots,0),(0,0,1,0,\...

I wonder whether this is true: If a distribution is very close (in the Wassertein sense) to another distribution with compact support, then the former must put only tiny amount of mass outside a ...

Are there any easy to use bounds on sums of the following kind : $$ \sum_{i = 1}^{i = N} |a_i| \geq P \\ a_i \sim \mathcal{N}(0, 1) \\ $$ and also for sums of the form : $$ \sum_{i = 1}^{i = M} \...

Take a random variable defined as $$r=u_{11}v_{1}v_{1}+u_{12}v_{1}v_{2}+\dots+u_{n,n-1}v_{n}v_{n-1}+u_{nn}v_{n}v_{n}$$ where $v_{i}$ are independent uniform random variables from $\{0,\dots,b\}$, $u_{...

I am trying to understand the proof in Sec. A2 of Gretton et al.. To make the question self-contained, I summarize below the key ingredients. At the end of the post, I state my question. Given a ...
