Discrepancy, chaining and subgaussian processes

preprint2011arXivOpen access

Abstract

We show that for a typical coordinate projection of a subgaussian class of functions, the infimum over signs inf⁡(εi)sup⁡f∈F∣∑i=1kεif(Xi)∣\inf_{(ε_i)}{\sup_{f\in F}}|{\sum_{i=1}^kε_i}f(X_i)| is asymptotically smaller than the expectation over signs as a function of the dimension kk, if the canonical Gaussian process indexed by FF is continuous. To that end, we establish a bound on the discrepancy of an arbitrary subset of Rk\mathbb {R}^k using properties of the canonical Gaussian process the set indexes, and then obtain quantitative structural information on a typical coordinate projection of a subgaussian class.
