How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T14314176 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

Chernoff bound
The Chernoff bound is a probabilistic inequality that gives exponentially decreasing upper bounds on the tail probabilities of sums of independent random variables.
-
B.
Chebyshev inequalities
Chebyshev inequalities are probabilistic bounds that limit how much a random variable’s values can deviate from its mean in terms of its variance.

Bennett inequality
Bennett inequality is a probabilistic bound that provides exponential tail estimates for sums of independent random variables, refining classical concentration inequalities like Bernstein’s.
