Convergence Rates for Realizations of Gaussian Random Variables

This paper investigates the approximation of Gaussian random variables in Banach spaces, focusing on the high-probability bounds for the approximation of Gaussian random variables using finitely many observations. We derive non-asymptotic error bounds for the approximation of a Gaussian process $ X $ by its conditional expectation, given finitely many linear functionals. Specifically, we quantify the difference between the covariance of $ X $ and its finite-dimensional approximation, establishing a direct relationship between the quality of the covariance approximation and the convergence of the process in the Banach space norm. Our approach avoids the reliance on spectral methods or eigenfunction expansions commonly used in Hilbert space settings, and instead uses finite, linear observations. This makes our result particularly suitable for practical applications in nonparametric statistics, machine learning, and Bayesian inference.
