We study kernel least-squares estimation under a norm constraint. This form of regularisation is known as Ivanov regularisation and it provides better control of the norm of the estimator than the well-established Tikhonov regularisation.…

Presented is a new algorithm for estimating the frequency of a single-tone noisy signal using linear least squares (LLS). Frequency estimation is a nonlinear problem, and typically, methods such as Nonlinear Least Squares (NLS) (batch) or a…
In time series analysis, when fitting an autoregressive model, one must solve a Toeplitz ordinary least squares problem numerous times to find an appropriate model, which can severely affect computational times with large data sets. Two…
Kernel adaptive filters (KAF) are a class of powerful nonlinear filters developed in Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Space (RKHS). The Gaussian kernel is usually the default kernel in KAF algorithms, but selecting the proper kernel size…
We describe a parallel iterative least squares solver named \texttt{LSRN} that is based on random normal projection. \texttt{LSRN} computes the min-length solution to $\min_{x \in \mathbb{R}^n} \|A x - b\|_2$, where $A \in \mathbb{R}^{m…
Nystr\"om approximation is a fast randomized method that rapidly solves kernel ridge regression (KRR) problems through sub-sampling the n-by-n empirical kernel matrix appearing in the objective function. However, the performance of such a…
Shuffled linear regression (SLR) seeks to estimate latent features through a linear transformation, complicated by unknown permutations in the measurement dimensions. This problem extends traditional least-squares (LS) and Least Absolute…
