Suppose that we observe $y \in \mathbb{R}^f$ and $X \in \mathbb{R}^{f \times m}$ in the following errors-in-variables model: \begin{eqnarray*} y & = & X_0 \beta^* + \epsilon \\ X & = & X_0 + W \end{eqnarray*} where $X_0$ is a $f \times m$…

Although the standard formulations of prediction problems involve fully-observed and noiseless data drawn in an i.i.d. manner, many applications involve noisy and/or missing data, possibly involving dependence, as well. We study these…

We consider the fundamental problem of estimating the mean of a vector $y=X\beta+z$, where $X$ is an $n\times p$ design matrix in which one can have far more variables than observations, and $z$ is a stochastic error term--the so-called…
