Let S be an arbitrary measurable space, T ⊂ R and (X,Y ) be a random couple in S × T with unknown distribution P. Let (X1, Y1), . . . , (Xn, Yn) be i.i.d. copies of (X,Y ). Denote by Pn the empirical distribution based on the sample (Xi, Yi), i = 1, . . . , n. Let H be a set of uniformly bounded functions on S. Suppose that H is equipped with a σ-algebra and with a finite measure μ. Let D be a ...
