Concentration Inequalities (brief)

Inference, estimation, and decision-making from data

Statistics so far has been mostly about averages and asymptotics. Concentration inequalities ask a sharper, finite-sample question: how likely is a random quantity to land far from its mean? Their answers are the mathematical backbone of why machine learning can offer guarantees at all.
