Abstract

This paper introduces a version of decoupling and randomization to establish concentration inequalities for double-indexed permutation statistics. The results yield, among other applications, a new combinatorial Hanson-Wright inequality and a new combinatorial Bennett inequality. Several illustrative examples from rank-based statistics, graph-based statistics, and causal inference are also provided.
