We deduce a useful concentration inequality for sub-gaussian random vectors. Two examples are given to illustrate these results: a concentration of distances between random vectors and subspaces, and a bound on the norms of products of random and deterministic matrices.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2013-10-01T17:09:19.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "hanson-wright inequality", "sub-gaussian concentration", "sub-gaussian random variables", "sub-gaussian random vectors", "quadratic forms" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 10, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013arXiv1306.2872R" } } }
