Statistical analysis on compositional data has gained a lot of attention due to their great potential of applications. A feature of these data is that they are multivariate vectors that lie in the simplex, that is, the components of each…

Penalties that induce smoothness are common in nonparametric regression. In many settings, the amount of smoothness in the data generating function will not be known. Simon and Shojaie (2021) derived convergence rates for nonparametric…

We consider the problem of constructing a global, probabilistic, and non-asymptotic confidence region for an unknown function observed on a random design. The unknown function is assumed to lie in a reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS).…
