Empirical estimation of $\inf_{\gamma \in \Pi(\mu,\nu)}\gamma(\Omega)$, given i.i.d samples from $\mu$ and $\nu$

Let $\mathcal X$ be a Polish space and $\Omega \subseteq \mathcal X^2$ be open. Let $\mu$ and $\nu$ be probability measures, and consider the quantity $c_\Omega(\mu,\nu)$ defined by $$ c_\Omega(\mu,\...

How does a statistical divergence change under a Lipschitz push-forward map?

Let $\mu, \nu$ be two probability measures on a space $X$ (assume Polish space). $T: X \rightarrow Y$ is a Lipschitz-map that acts as a push-forward on these measures; let $\mu^\prime = T_{\#\mu}$ and ...

Effect of perturbing the atoms of a measure on the Wasserstein distance

Let $(X,d)$ be a metric space, $x_1,\ldots,x_N\in X$ and $x_1',\ldots,x_N'\in X$ be atoms, and $G=\sum_{i=1}^Np_i\delta_{x_i}$, $G'=\sum_{i=1}^Np_i'\delta_{x_i}$, and $G''=\sum_{i=1}^Np_i'\delta_{x_i'}...

Wasserstein convergence of conditional measures

Suppose $W_r(\mu_n,\mu)\to0$, where $\mu_n$ and $\mu$ are discrete probability measures on some metric space $\Omega$, and that all measures have the same number of atoms $d$ (but not the same atoms): ...

Second-Order Taylor Expansion of Wasserstein Metric and Related Metrics

Suppose that we have a parametric distribution $P_{\theta}$, which is indexed by the parameter $\theta \in \mathbb{R}^d$. Let $W\{\cdot,\cdot\}$ be the Wasserstein Metric between two distributions. ...
