Sharp constants relating the sub-Gaussian norm and the sub-Gaussian parameter
abstract
We determine the optimal constants in the classical inequalities relating the sub-Gaussian norm \(\|X\|_{\psi_2}\) and the sub-Gaussian parameter \(\sigma_X\) for centered real-valued random variables. We show that \(\sqrt{3/8} \cdot \|X\|_{\psi_2} \le \sigma_X \le \sqrt{\log 2} \cdot \|X\|_{\psi_2}\), and that both bounds are sharp, attained by the standard Gaussian and Rademacher distributions, respectively.

Concentration and Calibration in Predictive Bayesian Inference
Predictive Bayesian inference posteriors concentrate onto a forward-model-dependent quantity and produce miscalibrated credible sets unless the predictive model contains the true data-generating process.

Predictively Oriented Posteriors
A new posterior family scores the posterior predictive directly, giving slower concentration but better predictive performance under model misspecification.
