In this paper, a new technique is introduced to obtain non-uniform Berry-Esseen bounds for normal and nonnormal approximations by unbounded exchangeable pairs. This technique does not rely on the concentration inequalities developed by Chen and Shao [4,5] and can be applied to the quadratic forms and the general Curie-Weiss model.

In this paper, we propose a new method to estimate the diffusion function in the jump-diffusion model. First, a threshold reweighted Nadaraya–Watson-type estimator is introduced. Then, we establish asymptotic normality for the estimator and conduct Monte Carlo simulations through two examples to verify the better finite-sampling properties. Finally, our estimator is demonstrated through the actual data of the Shanghai Interbank Offered Rate in China.
There has been a renewed interest in exponential concentration inequalities for stochastic processes in probability and statistics over the last three decades. De la Peña established a nice exponential inequality for a discrete time locally square integrable martingale. In this paper, we obtain de la Peña’s inequalities for a stochastic integral of multivariate point processes. The proof is primarily based on Doléans–Dade exponential formula and the optional stopping theorem. As an application, we obtain an exponential inequality for block counting process in coalescent.
