Concentration bound for the distribution of the difference of two random variables
If we use $\Rightarrow$ to represent convergence in distribution and suppose that $X_n \Rightarrow N(0,\sigma_1)$ and $Y_n \Rightarrow N(0,\sigma_2)$, and $X_n$ and $Y_n$ are independent, then we all ...

Upper bound for variance of kernel averages
I'm reading Hansen's (2008, p. 729) Theorem 1 where he bounds the variance of averages of the form
$$\hat\Psi(x)=\frac1{Th}\sum\limits_{t=1}^T Y_t K\bigg(\frac{x-X_t}h\bigg)$$
given that $\{(Y_t,X_t)\...
