Sharp Debiasing for Smooth Functional Estimation in Banach Spaces
Abstract
This paper studies the estimation of smooth functionals of a mean parameter for a distribution on a general Banach space. We propose a cross-fitted estimator based on a single sample splitting and establish non-asymptotic moment bounds and Berry--Ess\'een bounds for both -smooth and infinitely smooth functionals under the finite moment assumptions. Our framework is applied to precision matrix estimation and the inference of projection parameters in high-dimensional regression. In these Euclidean settings, the proposed estimators achieve asymptotic normality under the dimension regime without requiring any structural assumptions (e.g., sparsity). We discuss computational relaxations that enables polynomial-time implementation for a range of matrix functionals.
