Distances and diameters in concentration inequalities: from geometry to optimal assignment of sampling resources

Abstract

This note reviews, compares and contrasts three notions of "distance" or "size" that arise often in concentration-of-measure inequalities. We review Talagrand′s convex distance and McDiarmid′s diameter, and consider in particular the normal distance on a topological vector space
