Concentration inequalities specialized for log-likelihood / log-density functions

Let $P$ be a probability measure and $f$ be some probability density function (not necessarily related to $P$). Consider the function $$ L(X_1,\ldots,X_n) =\frac1n\sum_{i=1}^n\log f(X_i), \quad X_i\...

Beating the $1/\sqrt n$ rate of uniform-convergence over a linear function class

Let $P$ be a probability distribution on $\mathbb R^d \times \mathbb R$, and let $(x_1,y_1), \ldots, (x_n,y_n)$ be an iid sample of size $n$ from $P$. Fix $\epsilon,t\gt 0$. For any unit-vector $w \in ...

Rademacher complexity of function class $(x,y) \mapsto 1[|yf(x)-\alpha| \ge \beta]$ in terms of $\alpha$, $\beta$, and Rademacher complexity of $F$

Let $X$ be a measurable space and let $P$ be a probability distribution on $X \times \{\pm 1\}$. Let $F$ be a function class on $X$, i.e., a collection of (measurable) functions from $X$ to $\mathbb R$...

Upper-bound for bracketing number in terms of VC-dimension

Let $P$ be a probability distribution on a measurable space $\mathcal X$ (e.g;, some euclidean $\mathbb R^m$) and let $F$ be a class of funciton $f:\mathcal X \to \mathbb R$. Given, $f_1,f_2 \in F$, ...
