The low rank tensor approximation problem (LRTAP) is to find a tensor whose rank is small and that is close to a given one. This paper studies the LRTAP when the tensor to be approximated is close to a low rank one. Both symmetric and…
Asymptotic bootstrap validity is usually understood as consistency of the distribution of a bootstrap statistic, conditional on the data, for the unconditional limit distribution of a statistic of interest. From this perspective, randomness…
Low rank inference on matrices is widely conducted by optimizing a cost function augmented with a penalty proportional to the nuclear norm $\Vert \cdot \Vert_*$. However, despite the assortment of computational methods for such problems,…
