Let S = ∑i=1nφiπ(i), where Π is a random permutation of {1,2, …, n}, independent from Φ. This random element is compared with its symmetrized version S0 := ∑i=1n ξiφiπ(i) and its decoupled version S := ∑i=1n φiπ(i), where ξ = (ξi)1 ⩽i⩽n is a Rademacher sequence and Π is uniformly distributed on {1,2,…,n}n such that Φ, Π, Π and ξ are independent. It is shown that for a broad class of convex functions Ψ on RT the following symmetrization and decoupling inequalities hold: EΨ(S−ES) ⩽ Ψ(kS0)EΨ(γ(S−ES)) where κ, γ > 0 are universal constants. date: 1998 id_scheme: DOI id_number: 10.11588/heidok.00021960 schriftenreihe_cluster_id: sr-10b schriftenreihe_order: 12 ppn_swb: 1658989546 own_urn: urn:nbn:de:bsz:16-heidok-219605 language: eng bibsort: DUMBGENLUTSYMMETRIZA1998 full_text_status: public publication: Statistics & Probability Letters volume: 39 number: 4 pagerange: 355-361 issn: 0167-7152 citation: Dümbgen, Lutz (1998) Symmetrization and Decoupling of Combinatorial Random Elements.
