Goal 0 — Proposition 1.1 (Mills' inequality) #
For X ~ N(μ, σ²), P(X - μ > t) ≤ (σ/√(2π)) · e^{-t²/(2σ²)} / t. We state the standard Gaussian version: P(Z > t) ≤ (1/√(2π)) · (1/t) · exp(-t²/2).
Proposition 1.1 (Mills' inequality, general). For X ~ N(m, σ²) with σ > 0,
P(X - m > t) ≤ σ · (1/√(2π)) · (1/t) · exp(-t²/(2σ²)) for all t > 0.
Goal 2 — Lemma 1.3 (sub-Gaussian tail bound) #
If X is sub-Gaussian(σ²) (hence centered), then for all t > 0: P(X ≥ t) ≤ exp(-t²/(2σ²)).
Lemma 1.3 (sub-Gaussian tail, upper). If X is sub-Gaussian with variance proxy σsq,
then P(X > t) ≤ exp(-t²/(2σsq)) for all t > 0.
Lemma 1.3 (sub-Gaussian tail, lower). If X is sub-Gaussian with variance proxy σsq,
then P(X < -t) ≤ exp(-t²/(2σsq)) for all t > 0.
Goal 4 — Lemma 1.5 (sub-Gaussian moment bound) #
If X is sub-Gaussian(σ²) and centered, then (E|X|^k)^(1/k) ≤ σ√(2k) for all k ≥ 1.
The existing formalization proves: if sub-Gaussian tail bounds hold and exponential
moments are integrable, then the MGF bound E[exp(sX)] ≤ exp(4σ²s²) holds,
which implies sub-Gaussianity with parameter 8σ². This is Lemma 1.5 from the text.
Lemma 1.5 (sub-Gaussian implies MGF bound from tails). If a centered random variable X
satisfies the sub-Gaussian tail bound P(|X| > t) ≤ 2exp(-t²/(2σ²)) and exponential moments
are integrable, then E[exp(sX)] ≤ exp(4σ²s²) for all s > 0, and consequently X is
sub-Gaussian with parameter 8σ².
Goal 12 — Theorem 1.13 (Bernstein's inequality) #
For independent centered sub-exponential(λ) r.v.s X₁,...,Xₙ: P(|X̄| > t) ≤ 2·exp(-n/2 · min(t²/λ², t/λ)).
Theorem 1.13 (Bernstein's inequality). For independent centered sub-exponential(λ)
random variables X₁,...,Xₙ, the sample mean satisfies
max(P(X̄ ≥ t), P(X̄ ≤ -t)) ≤ exp(-(n/2) · min(t²/λ², t/λ)) for all t > 0.
Goal 14 — Lemma 1.15: Bounded centered r.v. |X| ≤ M is sub-Gaussian(M) #
More precisely, Hoeffding's lemma (Lemma 1.8 in the text) shows that a centered r.v. supported on [a, b] is sub-Gaussian with parameter (b-a)²/4. Taking a = -M, b = M gives sub-Gaussian with parameter M².
Lemma 1.15 (bounded implies sub-Gaussian). A centered random variable X with
a ≤ X(ω) ≤ b a.s. is sub-Gaussian with variance proxy (b-a)²/4.
In particular, if |X| ≤ M a.s. and E[X] = 0, then X is sub-Gaussian(M²).
Goal 15 — Theorem 1.16 #
If X is sub-Gaussian(σ), then X² - E[X²] is sub-exponential(Cσ²).
The existing formalization proves a related result about polytope sub-Gaussian tail bounds. We state the theorem about X² - E[X²] being sub-exponential.
Theorem 1.16 (sub-Gaussian polytope tail bound). If for each vertex v ∈ S,
the random linear functional g(ω)(v) is sub-Gaussian with parameter σsq, then
P(∃ θ ∈ conv(S), g(ω)(θ) > t) ≤ |S| · exp(-t²/(2σsq)).
This is the discretization step used in the chaining argument.
Goal 16 — Definition 1.17 (ε-net / covering number) #
The existing Def_1_17.lean defines ε-nets (IsEpsilonNet) for covering numbers.
Definition 1.17 (ε-net). A subset N ⊆ K is an ε-net of K if for every z ∈ K,
there exists x ∈ N with dist(x, z) ≤ ε. The covering number N(K, ε) is the
smallest cardinality of such a net.
Goal 17 — Lemma 1.18 (covering number bound for Euclidean ball) #
The covering number of the unit ball in ℝ^d satisfies N(B^d, ε) ≤ (3/ε)^d.
Lemma 1.18 (covering number of Euclidean ball). For 0 < ε < 1 and dimension d ≥ 1,
there exists an ε-net N of the unit ball in ℝ^d with |N| ≤ ⌈(3/ε)^d⌉.
Goal 18 — Theorem 1.19 (Sub-Gaussian random vectors in ℝ^d) #
The text's Theorem 1.19 states: for a sub-Gaussian random vector X in ℝ^d, E[‖X‖] ≤ Cσ√d.
The existing formalization proves three parts: (a) tail bound, (b) expectation bound, (c) high probability bound.
Theorem 1.19 (sub-Gaussian random vector, expectation bound). If X is a random vector
in ℝ^d such that every 1-dimensional projection ⟨a, X⟩ with ‖a‖ ≤ 1 is sub-Gaussian
with parameter σsq, then E[‖X‖] ≤ 4σ√d.
Theorem 1.19 (sub-Gaussian random vector, tail bound). Under the same hypotheses,
P(∃ θ, ‖θ‖ ≤ 1, ⟨θ, X⟩ > t) ≤ 6^d · exp(-t²/(8σsq)).
Theorem 1.19 (sub-Gaussian random vector, high probability bound). Under the same
hypotheses, with probability at least 1 - δ,
‖X‖ ≤ 4σ√d + 2σ√(2 log(1/δ)).
