| Popis: | Non-asymptotic bounds for Gaussian and bootstrap approximation have recently attracted significant interest in high-dimensional statistics. This paper studies Berry-Esseen bounds for such approximations with respect to the multivariate Kolmogorov distance, in the context of a sum of $n$ random vectors that are $p$-dimensional and i.i.d. Up to now, a growing line of work has established bounds with mild logarithmic dependence on $p$. However, the problem of developing corresponding bounds with near $n^{-1/2}$ dependence on $n$ has remained largely unresolved. Within the setting of random vectors that have sub-Gaussian or sub-exponential entries, this paper establishes bounds with near $n^{-1/2}$ dependence, for both Gaussian and bootstrap approximation. In addition, the proofs are considerably distinct from other recent approaches and make use of an "implicit smoothing" operation in the Lindeberg interpolation. Comment: 22 pages. Revisions added |
