| In [[probability theory]], '''Etemadi's inequality''' is a so-called "maximal inequality", an [[inequality (mathematics)|inequality]] that gives a bound on the [[probability]] that the [[partial sum]]s of a [[Finite set|finite]] collection of [[independent random variables]] exceed some specified bound. The result is due to [[Nasrollah Etemadi]].

| ==Statement of the inequality==
| |
| | |
| Let ''X''<sub>1</sub>, ..., ''X''<sub>''n''</sub> be independent real-valued random variables defined on some common [[probability space]], and let ''α'' ≥ 0. Let ''S''<sub>''k''</sub> denote the partial sum
| |
| | |
| :<math>S_{k} = X_{1} + \cdots + X_{k}.\,</math>
| |
| | |
| Then
| |
| | |
| :<math>\mathbb{P} \left( \max_{1 \leq k \leq n} | S_{k} | \geq 3 \alpha \right) \leq 3 \max_{1 \leq k \leq n} \mathbb{P} \left( | S_{k} | \geq \alpha \right).</math>
| |
| | |
| ==Remark==
| |
| | |
| Suppose that the random variables ''X''<sub>''k''</sub> have common [[expected value]] zero. Apply [[Chebyshev's inequality]] to the right-hand side of Etemadi's inequality and replace ''α'' by ''α'' / 3. The result is [[Kolmogorov's inequality]] with an extra factor of 27 on the right-hand side:
| |
| | |
| :<math>\mathbb{P} \left( \max_{1 \leq k \leq n} | S_{k} | \geq \alpha \right) \leq \frac{27}{\alpha^{2}} \mathrm{Var} (S_{n}).</math>
