    Concentration inequalities quantify random fluctuations of functions of random variables, typically by bounding the probability that such a function differs from its expected value by more than a certain amount. In this paper we study one particular concentration inequality, the Hoeffding-Serfling inequality for U-statistics of random variables sampled without replacement from a finite set and extend recent results of Bardenet and Maillard (Bernoulli 21(3):1361-1385, 2015) to cover the U-statistics setting.

    Concentration inequalities quantify random fluctuations of functions of random variables, typically by bounding the probability that such a function differs from its expected value by more than a certain amount. In this paper, we extend Hoeffding’s inequality and Bernstein’s inequality for U-statistics to the setting of sampling without replacement from a finite population.
