We investigate density estimation from a $n$-sample in the Euclidean space $\mathbb R^D$, when the data is supported by an unknown submanifold $M$ of possibly unknown dimension $d < D$ under a reach condition. We study nonparametric kernel…
We construct an adaptive estimator of a density function on $d$ dimensional unit sphere $S^d$ ($d \geq 2 $), using a new type of spherical frames. The frames, or as we call them, stereografic wavelets are obtained by transforming a wavelet…
We propose a scalable divergence estimation method based on hashing. Consider two continuous random variables $X$ and $Y$ whose densities have bounded support. We consider a particular locality sensitive random hashing, and consider the…
This paper describes an adaptive method in continuous time for the estimation of external fields by a team of $N$ agents. The agents $i$ each explore subdomains $\Omega^i$ of a bounded subset of interest $\Omega\subset X := \mathbb{R}^d$.…
In this paper, we consider the estimation of a change-point for possibly high-dimensional data in a Gaussian model, using a k-means method. We prove that, up to a logarithmic term, this change-point estimator has a minimax rate of…
We investigate an algorithm named histogram transform ensembles (HTE) density estimator whose effectiveness is supported by both solid theoretical analysis and significant experimental performance. On the theoretical side, by decomposing…
How can we detect anomalies: that is, samples that significantly differ from a given set of high-dimensional data, such as images or sensor data? This is a practical problem with numerous applications and is also relevant to the goal of…
The ubiquity of integrating detectors in imaging and other applications implies that a variety of real-world data are well modeled as Poisson random variables whose means are in turn proportional to an underlying vector-valued signal of…
This paper studies density estimation under pointwise loss in the setting of contamination model. The goal is to estimate $f(x_0)$ at some $x_0\in\mathbb{R}$ with i.i.d. observations, $$ X_1,\dots,X_n\sim (1-\epsilon)f+\epsilon g, $$ where…
We propose a new methodology for denoising, variance-stabilizing and normalizing signals whose both mean and variance are parameterized by a single unknown varying parameter, such as Poisson or scaled chi-squared. Key to our methodology is…
This paper derives identification, estimation, and inference results using spatial differencing in sample selection models with unobserved heterogeneity. We show that under the assumption of smooth changes across space of the unobserved…
Locally adapted parameterizations of a model (such as locally weighted regression) are expressive but often suffer from high variance. We describe an approach for reducing the variance, based on the idea of estimating simultaneously a…
We construct honest confidence regions for a Hilbert space-valued parameter in various statistical models. The confidence sets can be centered at arbitrary adaptive estimators, and have diameter which adapts optimally to a given selection…
In this paper, we establish explicit convergence rates for the stochastic smooth approximations of infimal convolutions introduced and developed in \cite{MR4581306,MR4923371}. In particular, we quantify the convergence of the associated…
In this paper, we consider adaptive estimation of an unknown planar compact, convex set from noisy measurements of its support function on a uniform grid. Both the problem of estimating the support function at a point and that of estimating…

We tackle the problem of the estimation of the level sets L_f({\lambda}) of the density f of a random vector X supported on a smooth manifold M\subsetR^d , from an iid sample of X. To do that we introduce a kernel-based estimator f^n,h ,…
The task of image segmentation is inherently noisy due to ambiguities regarding the exact location of boundaries between anatomical structures. We argue that this information can be extracted from the expert annotations at no extra cost,…
This work resolves the following question in non-Euclidean statistics: Is it possible to consistently estimate the Fr\'echet mean set of an unknown population distribution, with respect to the Hausdorff metric, when given access to…
We consider the model of nonregular nonparametric regression where smoothness constraints are imposed on the regression function $f$ and the regression errors are assumed to decay with some sharpness level at their endpoints. The aim of…
