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 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 by distribution for the maximum norm in a high-dimensional setting (p>np >n).
