Strong Gaussian Approximation for the Sum of Random Vectors

Annual Conference Computational Learning Theory (COLT), 2021
Abstract

This paper derives a new strong Gaussian approximation bound for the sum of independent random vectors. The approach relies on the optimal transport theory and yields \textit{explicit} dependence on the dimension size pp and the sample size nn. This dependence establishes a new fundamental limit for all practical applications of statistical learning theory. Particularly, based on this bound, we prove approximation in distribution for the maximum norm in a high-dimensional setting (p>np >n).
