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

An error occurred while generating the citation.

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
