Abstract: We derive the tight constant in the multivariate version of the Dvoretzky–Kiefer–Wolfowitz inequality. The inequality is leveraged to construct the first fully non-parametric test for multivariate probability distributions including a simple formula for the test statistic. We also generalize the test under appropriate α-mixing conditions and describe applications of the tests to machine learning and representative sampling.
