Finite-length analysis on tail probability and simple hypothesis testing for Markov chain

Using terminologies of information geometry, we derive upper and lower bounds of the tail probability of the sample mean. Employing these bounds, we obtain upper and lower bounds of the minimum error probability of the 2nd kind of error under the exponential constraint for the error probability of the 1st kind of error in a simple hypothesis testing for a finite-length Markov chain, which yields the Hoeffding type bound. For these derivations, we derive upper and lower bounds of cumulant generating function for Markov chain.
