Statistics & Probability Letters, 1994, vol. 21, issue 5, 357-362

Abstract: A Kolmogorov inequality for the class of U-statistics based on kernels which are Bernoulli random variables is presented. This class of statistics contains the sample average of i.i.d. Bernoulli random variables as a special case. For this particular statistic, the bound obtained here is sharper than the one presented by Turner (1992).
