We consider a Gaussian sequence space model $X_{\lambda}=f_{\lambda} + \xi_{\lambda},$ where $\xi $ has a diagonal covariance matrix $\Sigma=\diag(\sigma_\lambda ^2)$. We consider the situation where the parameter vector $(f_{\lambda})$ is…

We introduce a novel method for sparse regression and variable selection, which is inspired by modern ideas in multiple testing. Imagine we have observations from the linear model y = X beta + z, then we suggest estimating the regression…

We consider a nonparametric additive model of a conditional mean function in which the number of variables and additive components may be larger than the sample size but the number of nonzero additive components is "small" relative to the…

We study the problem of learning a sparse linear regression vector under additional conditions on the structure of its sparsity pattern. This problem is relevant in machine learning, statistics and signal processing. It is well known that a…

We study the probabilistic sampling of a random variable, in which the variable is sampled only if it falls outside a given set, which is called the silence set. This helps us to understand optimal event-based sampling for the special case…
