Download or read book Concentration Inequalities and Model Selection written by Pascal Massart and published by Springer. This book was released on 2007-04-26 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Concentration inequalities have been recognized as fundamental tools in several domains such as geometry of Banach spaces or random combinatorics. They also turn to be essential tools to develop a non asymptotic theory in statistics. This volume provides an overview of a non asymptotic theory for model selection. It also discusses some selected applications to variable selection, change points detection and statistical learning.
