On Catoni's M-Estimation

Catoni proposed a robust M-estimator and gave the deviation inequality for one fixed test function. The present paper is devoted to the uniform concentration inequality for a family of test functions. As an application, we consider empirical risk minimization for heavy-tailed losses.
