Hoeffding's inequality
In probability theory, Hoeffding's inequality provides an upper bound on the probability that the sum of random variables deviates from its expected value. Hoeffding's inequality was proved by Wassily Hoeffding in 1963.
Hoeffding's inequality is a special case of the Azuma–Hoeffding inequality, and it is more general than the Bernstein inequality, proved by Sergei Bernstein in 1923. They are also special cases of McDiarmid's inequality.
== Special case of Bernoulli random variables ==
Hoeffding's inequality can be applied to the important special case of identically distributed Bernoulli random variables, and this is how the inequality is often used in combinatorics and computer science. We consider a coin that shows heads with probability and tails with probability . We toss the coin times. The expected number of times the coin comes up heads is . Furthermore, the probability that the coin comes up heads at most times can be exactly quantified by the following expression:
:\mathbb( H(n) \leq k)= \sum_^ \binom p^i (1-p)^,
where is the number of heads in coin tosses.
When for some , Hoeffding's inequality bounds this probability by a term that is exponentially small in :
:\mathbb( H(n) \leq (p-\varepsilon) n)\leq\exp\left(-2\varepsilon^2 n\right).
Similarly, when for some , Hoeffding's inequality bounds the probability that we see at least more tosses that show heads than we would expect:
:\mathbb(H(n) \geq (p+\varepsilon)n)\leq\exp\left(-2\varepsilon^2 n\right).
Hence Hoeffding's inequality implies that the number of heads that we see is concentrated around its mean, with exponentially small tail.
:\mathbb((p-\epsilon)n \leq H(n) \leq (p+\varepsilon)n)\geq 1-2\exp\left(-2\varepsilon^2 n\right).
