Is there an example that both Berry-Essen bound and DKW bound are attained?
The Berry-Essen bound stated that

Concentration inequalities in $\ell_{\infty}$ for sums of iid random ("nice") functions?
I'm looking for "tail-bound-like" inequalities that look like this (I state a specific setting but more general settings are interesting):
Let $D$ be a distribution on a set of "nice" functions $g$:...
