Sub-Gaussian estimators of the mean of a random vector

1 Feb 2017  ·  Gábor Lugosi, Shahar Mendelson ·

We study the problem of estimating the mean of a random vector $X$ given a sample of $N$ independent, identically distributed points. We introduce a new estimator that achieves a purely sub-Gaussian performance under the only condition that the second moment of $X$ exists. The estimator is based on a novel concept of a multivariate median.
