Abstract

Statist. 1, 63-87], Massart [2000a. About the constants in Talagrand's concentration inequalities for empirical processes. Ann. Probab. 2 (28), 863-884], Rio [2002.

Ibragimov] and Bousquet [2002. A Bennett concentration inequality and its application to suprema of empirical processes. C. R. Math. Acad. Sci. Paris 334 (6), 495-500] have obtained exponential inequalities for suprema of empirical processes. These inequalities are sharp enough to build adaptive estimation procedures Massart [2000b. Some applications of concentration inequalities. Ann. Fac. Sci. Toulouse Math. (6) 9 (2), 245-303]. The aim of this paper is to produce these kinds of inequalities when the empirical measure is replaced by a counting process. To achieve this goal, we first compute the compensator of a suprema of integrals with respect to the counting measure. We can then apply the classical inequalities which are already available for martingales Van de Geer [1995. Exponential inequalities for martingales, with application to maximum likelihood estimation for counting processes. Ann. Statist. 23 (5), 1779-1801].
