abstract = {Concentration of measure inequalities are at the heart of much
theoretical analysis of randomized compressive operators. Though
commonly studied for dense matrices, in this paper we derive a
concentration of measure bound for block diagonal matrices where the
nonzero entries along the main diagonal blocks are i.i.d.
subgaussian random variables. Our main result states that the
concentration exponent, in the best case, scales as that for a fully
dense matrix. We also identify the role that the energy distribution
of the signal plays in distinguishing the best case from the worst.
We illustrate these phenomena with a series of experiments.},
