Let $n$ and $k$ be positive integers. Let $X$ be the empirical mean of $n$ iid Rademacher random variables. Note that the distribution of $X$ is symmetric about 0, and also $|X| \le 1$ w.p 1. Let $X_1,...

Let $X=(x_1,\ldots,x_p)$ be an $p \times n$ random matrix with iid entries from $\{\pm 1\}$, distributed so that $\mathbb P(x_{ij} = 1) \equiv 1/2$, where $x_i=(x_{i1},\ldots,x_{in})$. Let $y$ be a ...

Let $a \ge 0$, $b,c>0$ be fixed constants, and let $X$ be an $m \times d$ random matrix with entries drawn iid from $N(0,1/d)$. Consider the random psd matrix $S := a 1_m 1_m^\top + b XX^\top + c ...
