Research Type Theoretical We describe alternative characterizations of subweibull distributions, illustrate their application to concentration inequalities, and detail the conditions under which their tail behavior is preserved after exponential tilting. ... Here, we provide alternative characterizations of the subweibull class and introduce a distinction between strictly and broadly subweibull distributions. ... We demonstrate how subweibull properties can be used to prove Bernstein concentration inequalities in both heavy and light-tailed settings. Finally, we detail the conditions under which the subweibull property is preserved after exponential tilting.
