We illustrate the importance of this result through various generalizations of the Hanson-Wright concentration inequality as well as through a study of the random matrix $XDX^T$ and its resolvent $Q = (I_p - \\frac{1}{n}XDX^T)^{-1}$, where $X$ and $D$ are random, which have fundamental interest in statistical machine learning applications.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2021-02-16T08:36:28.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "60-08", "60B20", "62J07", "G.3" ], "keywords": [ "generalized product ofrandom vectors", "hanson-wright-like inequalities", "hanson-wright concentration inequality", "measure hypotheses", "random matrix" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 48, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
