View on Github →feat(probability/moments): Chernoff bound on the upper/lower tail of a real random variable (#15129)
For t
nonnegative such that the cgf exists, ℙ(ε ≤ X) ≤ exp(-t*ε + cgf X ℙ t)
. We prove a similar result for the lower tail, as well as two corresponding versions using mgf instead of cgf.
