We extend Fanos inequality, which controls the average probability of events in terms of the average of some $f$--divergences, to work with arbitrary events (not necessarily forming a partition) and even with arbitrary $[0,1]$--valued random variables, possibly in continuously infinite number. We provide two applications of these extensions, in which the consideration of random variables is particularly handy: we offer new and elegant proofs for existing lower bounds, on Bayesian posterior concentration (minimax or distribution-dependent) rates and on the regret in non-stochastic sequential learning.

The variance and the entropy power of a continuous random variable are bounded from below by the reciprocal of its Fisher information through the Cram{e}r-Rao bound and the Stams inequality respectively. In this note, we introduce the Fisher informat
ion for discrete random variables and derive the discrete Cram{e}r-Rao-type bound and the discrete Stams inequality.
We present some new results on the joint distribution of an arbitrary subset of the ordered eigenvalues of complex Wishart, double Wishart, and Gaussian hermitian random matrices of finite dimensions, using a tensor pseudo-determinant operator. Speci
fically, we derive compact expressions for the joint probability distribution function of the eigenvalues and the expectation of functions of the eigenvalues, including joint moments, for the case of both ordered and unordered eigenvalues.
In this paper we prove the concavity of the $k$-trace functions, $Amapsto (text{Tr}_k[exp(H+ln A)])^{1/k}$, on the convex cone of all positive definite matrices. $text{Tr}_k[A]$ denotes the $k_{mathrm{th}}$ elementary symmetric polynomial of the eige
nvalues of $A$. As an application, we use the concavity of these $k$-trace functions to derive tail bounds and expectation estimates on the sum of the $k$ largest (or smallest) eigenvalues of a sum of random matrices.
This paper studies the problem of recovering the hidden vertex correspondence between two edge-correlated random graphs. We focus on the Gaussian model where the two graphs are complete graphs with correlated Gaussian weights and the ErdH{o}s-Renyi m
odel where the two graphs are subsampled from a common parent ErdH{o}s-Renyi graph $mathcal{G}(n,p)$. For dense graphs with $p=n^{-o(1)}$, we prove that there exists a sharp threshold, above which one can correctly match all but a vanishing fraction of vertices and below which correctly matching any positive fraction is impossible, a phenomenon known as the all-or-nothing phase transition. Even more strikingly, in the Gaussian setting, above the threshold all vertices can be exactly matched with high probability. In contrast, for sparse ErdH{o}s-Renyi graphs with $p=n^{-Theta(1)}$, we show that the all-or-nothing phenomenon no longer holds and we determine the thresholds up to a constant factor. Along the way, we also derive the sharp threshold for exact recovery, sharpening the existing results in ErdH{o}s-Renyi graphs. The proof of the negative results builds upon a tight characterization of the mutual information based on the truncated second-moment computation and an area theorem that relates the mutual information to the integral of the reconstruction error. The positive results follows from a tight analysis of the maximum likelihood estimator that takes into account the cycle structure of the induced permutation on the edges.
We prove large (and moderate) deviations for a class of linear combinations of spacings generated by i.i.d. exponentially distributed random variables. We allow a wide class of coefficients which can be expressed in terms of continuous functions defi
ned on [0, 1] which satisfy some suitable conditions. In this way we generalize some recent results by Giuliano et al. (2015) which concern the empirical cumulative entropies defined in Di Crescenzo and Longobardi (2009a).
