This paper proposes minimum distance inference for a structural parameter of interest, which is robust to the lack of identification of other structural nuisance parameters. Some choices of the weighting matrix lead to asymptotic…
In this paper we study the robustness properties of dimensionality reduction with Gaussian random matrices having arbitrarily erased rows. We first study the robustness property against erasure for the almost norm preservation property of…
In this paper we formulate and prove a statistical version of the Candes-Tao restricted isometry property (SRIP for short) which holds in general for any incoherent dictionary which is a disjoint union of orthonormal bases. In addition, we…
We consider best approximation problems in a nonlinear subset $\mathcal{M}$ of a Banach space of functions $(\mathcal{V},\|\bullet\|)$. The norm is assumed to be a generalization of the $L^2$-norm for which only a weighted Monte Carlo…
Axiomatization of centrality measures often involves proving that something cannot hold by providing a counterexample (i.e., a graph for which that specific centrality index fails to have a given property). In the context of geometric…
In 2011, Aaronson gave a striking proof, based on quantum linear optics, showing that the problem of computing the permanent of a matrix is #P-hard. Aaronson's proof led naturally to hardness of approximation results for the permanent, and…
This paper is about iteratively reweighted basis-pursuit algorithms for compressed sensing and matrix completion problems. In a first part, we give a theoretical explanation of the fact that reweighted basis pursuit can improve a lot upon…
The goal of property testing is to quickly distinguish between objects which satisfy a property and objects that are $\epsilon$-far from satisfying the property. There are now several general results in this area which show that natural…
We investigate the sign-linear embeddings of 1-bit compressed sensing given by Gaussian measurements. One can give short arguments concerning a Restricted Isometry Property of such maps using Vapnik-Chervonenkis dimension of sparse…
The goal of Sparse Convex Optimization is to optimize a convex function $f$ under a sparsity constraint $s\leq s^*\gamma$, where $s^*$ is the target number of non-zero entries in a feasible solution (sparsity) and $\gamma\geq 1$ is an…
We consider isomorphism properties of infinite random geometric graphs defined over a variety of metrics. In previous work, it was shown that for $\mathbb{R}^n$ with the $L_{\infty}$-metric, the infinite random geometric graph is, with…
The radius of regularity sometimes spelled as the radius of nonsingularity is a measure providing the distance of a given matrix to the nearest singular one. Despite its possible application strength this measure is still far from being…
Generalized orthogonal matching pursuit (gOMP) algorithm has received much attention in recent years as a natural extension of orthogonal matching pursuit. It is used to recover sparse signals in compressive sensing. In this paper, a new…
There are two basic ways of weakening the definition of the well-known metric regularity property by fixing one of the points involved in the definition. The first resulting property is called metric subregularity and has attracted a lot of…
This article extends the concept of compressed sensing to signals that are not sparse in an orthonormal basis but rather in a redundant dictionary. It is shown that a matrix, which is a composition of a random matrix of certain type and a…
Orthogonal Matching pursuit (OMP) is a popular algorithm to estimate an unknown sparse vector from multiple linear measurements of it. Assuming exact sparsity and that the measurements are corrupted by additive Gaussian noise, the success…
We give a suitable RI-Property under which recent results for trace regression translate into strong risk bounds for multivariate regression. This pseudo-RIP is compatible with the setting $n < p$.
The sensing matrix of a compressive system impacts the stability of the associated sparse recovery problem. In this paper, we study the sensing matrix of the modulated wideband converter, a recently proposed system for sub-Nyquist sampling…
This paper presents a Cramer-Rao bound (CRB) for the estimation of parameters confined to an arbitrary set. Unlike existing results that rely on equality or inequality constraints, manifold structures, or the nonsingularity of the Fisher…
In this paper we define a new coherence index, named the global 2-coherence, of a given dictionary and study its relationship with the traditional mutual coherence and the restricted isometry constant. By exploring this relationship, we…
