Set Gn​=Un​−θVn​, and define the estimator on zero-denominator events as part of the model. On Vn​>δ>0, its error is at most ∣Gn​∣/δ. Centering Gn​ and applying the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality gives the displayed bound, where rn​ is the expected error on Vn​≤δ. This controls a ratio estimator without falsely assuming that its numerator and denominator are independent.
