Abstract

Let a sequence of iid. random variables ξ 1, . . . ,ξ n be given on a space with distribution μ together with a nice class of functions f(x 1, . . . ,x k ) of k variables on the product space For all f ∈ we consider the random integral J n,k (f) of the function f with respect to the k-fold product of the normalized signed measure where μ n denotes the empirical measure defined by the random variables ξ 1, . . . ,ξ n and investigate the probabilities for all x>0. We show that for nice classes of functions, for instance if is a Vapnik–Červonenkis class, an almost as good bound can be given for these probabilities as in the case when only the random integral of one function is considered. A similar result holds for degenerate U-statistics, too.
