Abstract

We show sharpened forms of the concentration of measure phenomenon typically centered at stochastic expansions of order d − 1 for any \(d \in \mathbb {N}\). Here we focus on differentiable functions on the Euclidean space in presence of a Poincaré-type inequality. The bounds are based on d-th order derivatives.
