arXiv:2606. 06384v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The sub-Gaussian parameter (also called the variance proxy) of a mean-zero random variable $X$ is defined as $\xi^2_\star = \sup_{\lambda \in \mathbb{R}} L(\lambda)$ where $L(\lambda) = \frac{2}{\lambda^2} \log \mathbb{E} e^{\lambda X}$ is a weighted cumulant generating function.

The Sample Complexity of Distributionally Robust PAC Learning under Cressie--Read Divergences

We study distributionally robust PAC learning for the $0$--$1$-loss, where adversarial perturbations of the data distribution are constrained by a Cressie--Read divergence of order $k>1$ and radius $ρ\geq 0$. For hypothesis classes with VC dimension $d$, we establish realizable and agnostic sample-complexity bounds tight up to constant and logarithmic factors, respectively; ordinary empirical risk minimization attains both rates up to logarithmic factors.
