An Exponential Inequality for U-Statistics with Applications to Testing*
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 27 July 2009
Abstract
We present a new exponential inequality for degenerate U-statistics. The bound on the tail probability is quadratic for small to medium values of the deviation and linear for larger values. We apply this bound to a family of test statistics and provide the key step in an optimality result for adaptive tests [1].
