In a sparse high-dimensional elliptical model we consider a hard threshold estimator for the correlation matrix based on Kendall's tau with threshold level $\alpha(\frac{\log p}{n})^{1/2}$. Parameters $\alpha$ are identified such that the…

We describe a method to computationally estimate the probability density function of a univariate random variable by applying the maximum entropy principle with some local conditions given by Gaussian functions. The estimation errors and…

Consider a spiked random tensor obtained as a mixture of two components: noise in the form of a symmetric Gaussian $p$-tensor for $p\geq 3$ and signal in the form of a symmetric low-rank random tensor. The latter is defined as a linear…

The matrix rank and its positive versions are robust for small approximations, i.e. they do not decrease under small perturbations. In contrast, the multipartite tensor rank can collapse for arbitrarily small errors, i.e. there may be a gap…
