Abstract:

This talk shows a Bernstein-type inequality along with a Cramer-type moderate deviation theorem for non-degenerate U-statistics under alpha- and tau-mixing conditions. The result confirms a conjecture raised by Borisov and Volodko (2015), and is applicable to a wide range of kernel functions via multiple Fourier series expansion. Two statistical applications of our theory are provided, covering estimation and testing problems in high dimensions.
