Qualitative inequalities for squared partial correlations of a Gaussian random vector
We describe various sets of conditional independence relationships, sufficient for qualitatively comparing non-vanishing squared partial correlations of a Gaussian random vector. These sufficient conditions are satisfied by several graphical Markov models. Rules for comparing degree of association among the vertices of such Gaussian graphical models are also developed. We apply these rules to compare conditional dependencies on Gaussian trees. In particular for trees, we show that such dependence can be completely characterized by the length of the paths joining the dependent vertices to each other and to the vertices conditioned on. We also apply our results to postulate rules for model selection for polytree models. Our rules apply to mutual information of Gaussian random vectors as well.

Non-asymptotic approximations of Gaussian neural networks via second-order Poincaré inequalities
There is a growing interest on large-width asymptotic properties of Gaussian neural networks (NNs), namely NNs whose weights are initialized according to Gaussian distributions. A well-established result is that, as the …
Fisher information under local differential privacy
We develop data processing inequalities that describe how Fisher information from statistical samples can scale with the privacy parameter $\varepsilon$ under local differential privacy constraints. These bounds are vali…
validEstimation of entropy-regularized optimal transport maps between non-compactly supported measures
This paper addresses the problem of estimating entropy-regularized optimal transport (EOT) maps with squared-Euclidean cost between source and target measures that are subGaussian. In the case that the target measure is …
Sharp Inequalities for $f$-divergences
$f$-divergences are a general class of divergences between probability measures which include as special cases many commonly used divergences in probability, mathematical statistics and information theory such as Kullbac…
Output-Constrained Lossy Source Coding With Application to Rate-Distortion-Perception Theory
The distortion-rate function of output-constrained lossy source coding with limited common randomness is analyzed for the special case of squared error distortion measure. An explicit expression is obtained when both sou…
