    Upper bounds on absolute moments of the scores are derived for sums of independent random variables in terms of the moments of the scores, as well as in terms of the total variation norm of densities of summands.

    Abstract Each metric graph has canonically associated to it a polarized real torus called its tropical Jacobian. A fundamental real-valued invariant associated to each polarized real torus is its tropical moment. We give an explicit and efficiently computable formula for the tropical moment of a tropical Jacobian in terms of potential theory on the underlying metric graph. We show that there exists a universal linear relation between the tropical moment, a certain capacity called the tau invariant, and the total length of a metric graph. To put our formula in a broader context, we relate our work to the computation of heights attached to principally polarized abelian varieties.

    Abstract The conditional moment problem is a powerful formulation for describing structural causal parameters in terms of observables, a prominent example being instrumental variable regression. We introduce a very general class of estimators called the variational method of moments (VMM), motivated by a variational minimax reformulation of optimally weighted generalized method of moments for finite sets of moments. VMM controls infinitely for many moments characterized by flexible function classes such as neural nets and kernel methods, while provably maintaining statistical efficiency unlike existing related minimax estimators. We also develop inference algorithms and demonstrate the empirical strengths of VMM estimation and inference in experiments.
