Sharp, multidimensional changepoints-abrupt shifts in a regression surface whose locations and magnitudes are unknown-arise in settings as varied as gene-expression profiling, financial covariance breaks, climate-regime detection, and urban…
In the FDR-controlling literature, mirror statistics offer a flexible alternative to $p$-value based procedures. When prior information is available, however, it is unclear how to incorporate mirror statistics in a principled way, and the…
In the multiple testing problem with independent tests, the classical linear step-up procedure controls the false discovery rate (FDR) at level $\pi_0\alpha$, where $\pi_0$ is the proportion of true null hypotheses and $\alpha$ is the…
The fused lasso, also known as (anisotropic) total variation denoising, is widely used for piecewise constant signal estimation with respect to a given undirected graph. The fused lasso estimate is highly nontrivial to compute when the…
Much effort has been done to control the "false discovery rate" (FDR) when $m$ hypotheses are tested simultaneously. The FDR is the expectation of the "false discovery proportion" $\text{FDP}=V/R$ given by the ratio of the number of false…
Recent research has focused on $\ell_1$ penalized least squares (Lasso) estimators for high-dimensional linear regressions in which the number of covariates $p$ is considerably larger than the sample size $n$. However, few studies have…
We study the properties of false discovery rate (FDR) thresholding, viewed as a classification procedure. The "0"-class (null) is assumed to have a known density while the "1"-class (alternative) is obtained from the "0"-class either by…
Financial Transmission Rights (FTRs) enable electricity market participants to hedge congestion risk in Day Ahead Market (DAM) operations, but for the market to be solvent, Independent System Operators (ISOs) must ensure that FTR payouts do…
Lasso regression is a widely employed approach within the $\ell_1$ regularization framework used to promote sparsity and recover piecewise smooth signals $f:[a,b) \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ when the given observations are obtained from noisy,…
Lossy compression algorithms are typically designed and analyzed through the lens of Shannon's rate-distortion theory, where the goal is to achieve the lowest possible distortion (e.g., low MSE or high SSIM) at any given bit rate. However,…
We investigate the performance of a family of multiple comparison procedures for strong control of the False Discovery Rate ($\mathsf{FDR}$). The $\mathsf{FDR}$ is the expected False Discovery Proportion ($\mathsf{FDP}$), that is, the…
This work concerns controlling the false discovery rate (FDR) in networks under communication constraints. We present sample-and-forward, a flexible and communication-efficient version of the Benjamini-Hochberg (BH) procedure for multihop…
It is well-known that the statistical performance of Lasso can suffer significantly when the covariates of interest have strong correlations. In particular, the prediction error of Lasso becomes much worse than computationally inefficient…
This paper presents a survey on some recent advances for the type I error rate control in multiple testing methodology. We consider the problem of controlling the $k$-family-wise error rate (kFWER, probability to make $k$ false discoveries…
The complexity of deep neural networks (DNNs) makes them powerful but also makes them challenging to interpret, hindering their applicability in error-intolerant domains. Existing methods attempt to reason about the internal mechanism of…
