| contents | Cohen and Kontorovich (COLT 2023) initiated the study of what we call here the Binomial Empirical Process: the maximal absolute value of a sequence of inhomogeneous normalized and centered binomials. They almost fully analyzed the case where the binomials are independent, and the remaining gap was closed by Blanchard and Voráček (ALT 2024). In this work, we study the much more general and challenging case with correlations. In contradistinction to Gaussian processes, whose behavior is characterized by the covariance structure, we discover that, at least somewhat surprisingly, for binomial processes covariance does not even characterize convergence. Although a full characterization remains out of reach, we take the first steps with nontrivial upper and lower bounds in terms of covering numbers. |
