In high-dimensional regression, we attempt to estimate a parameter vector $\beta_0\in\mathbb{R}^p$ from $n\lesssim p$ observations $\{(y_i,x_i)\}_{i\leq n}$ where $x_i\in\mathbb{R}^p$ is a vector of predictors and $y_i$ is a response…

A semi-parametric, non-linear regression model in the presence of latent variables is introduced. These latent variables can correspond to unmodeled phenomena or unmeasured agents in a complex networked system. This new formulation allows…

In system identification, estimating parameters of a model using limited observations results in poor identifiability. To cope with this issue, we propose a new method to simultaneously select and estimate sensitive parameters as key model…

In this article, we consider the problem of estimating the index parameter $\alpha_0$ in the single index model $E[Y |X] = f_0(\alpha_0^T X)$ with $f_0$ the unknown ridge function defined on $\mathbb{R}$, $X$ a d-dimensional covariate and…
