Abstract:
This paper provides moment and exponential inequalities for V-statistics with uniformly bounded kernels. The main results are based on moment inequalities for sub-Bernoulli functions of independent random variables. These moment inequalities lead to extensions of the Bernstein inequality to V-statistics. U-statistics are also discussed.
