Under the N-fold tensor power of a probability measure rho, the integral of a bounded Borel function phi against the empirical measure has mean-square deviation (int phi2phi^2 d rho - (int phi d rho)2)/Nrho)^2)/N from its mean, which is at most (int phi2phi^2 d rho)/N.

Statement

In the setting of Wasserstein Spaces, Random Vectors, Vector Fields and Symmetric Matrices in Every Dimension: Standing Notation, whose probability space (Ω,F,P)(\Omega,\mathcal{F},P) is not used, let q,N∈Nq,N\in\mathbb{N}, let ρ∈P(Rq)\rho\in\mathcal{P}(\mathbb{R}^{q}) with tensor power ρ⊗N∈P(RqN)\rho^{\otimes N}\in\mathcal{P}(\mathbb{R}^{qN}), let pk:RqN→Rq\mathfrak{p}_{k}:\mathbb{R}^{qN}\to\mathbb{R}^{q}, k∈[N]k\in[N], be the block maps of Particle Blocks of the Configuration Space: Block Maps, Configurations, Product Maps and Diagonal Points §blocks, and let μxN\mu^{N}_{x} be the empirical measure of x∈RqNx\in\mathbb{R}^{qN}. In real arithmetic NN stands for its image under the canonical map, which is positive by claim 3 of Properties of the Canonical Map from the Natural Numbers to an Ordered Field, and 1N\frac{1}{N} means N−1N^{-1}. Let φ:Rq→R\varphi:\mathbb{R}^{q}\to\mathbb{R} be bounded and Borel, let φ2\varphi^{2} denote its pointwise square, which is Borel by claim 3 of Arithmetic, Absolute Values, and Pointwise Limits of Measurable Real-Valued Functions and bounded by the square of a bound for φ\varphi, and put

a=∫Rqφ dρ,b=∫Rqφ2 dρ,a=\int_{\mathbb{R}^{q}}\varphi\,d\rho,\qquad b=\int_{\mathbb{R}^{q}}\varphi^{2}\,d\rho,

integrals of bounded Borel functions as in Probability Measures on Euclidean Space and Random Vectors: Standing Notation §measures. Then the following hold.

1. (The empirical average) For every x∈RqNx\in\mathbb{R}^{qN} the function φ\varphi is integrable with respect to μxN\mu^{N}_{x}, and

∫Rqφ dμxN=1N∑k=1Nφ(pk(x)).\int_{\mathbb{R}^{q}}\varphi\,d\mu^{N}_{x}=\frac{1}{N}\sum_{k=1}^{N}\varphi(\mathfrak{p}_{k}(x)).

The function g:RqN→Rg:\mathbb{R}^{qN}\to\mathbb{R}, g(x)=∫Rqφ dμxNg(x)=\int_{\mathbb{R}^{q}}\varphi\,d\mu^{N}_{x}, is Borel and bounded.

2. (Mean-square deviation)

∫RqN(g(x)−a)2 ρ⊗N(dx)=1N(b−a2)≤1N b.\int_{\mathbb{R}^{qN}}\bigl(g(x)-a\bigr)^{2}\,\rho^{\otimes N}(dx)=\frac{1}{N}\bigl(b-a^{2}\bigr)\le\frac{1}{N}\,b .
