Rate of covariance matrix estimation in Frobenius norm for Gaussian distributions

Given i.i.d. observations from an unknown $d$-dimensional Gaussian distribution $\mathcal{N}(\mu,\Sigma)$, it is "well-known" that $n=\Omega(d^2/\varepsilon^2)$ are necessary to produce an estimate $\ …

Does the normal product distribution have subgaussian tail?

Consider the case of the product of two independent standard Gaussian r.v's $X,Y$: $Z=XY$. Then, one can easily compute the MGF of $Z$: $$ \forall |\theta|<1,\qquad \mathbb{E}[e^{\theta Z}] = \mathbb{ …
