Denoising has to do with estimating a signal $x_0$ from its noisy observations $y=x_0+z$. In this paper, we focus on the "structured denoising problem", where the signal $x_0$ possesses a certain structure and $z$ has independent normally…

Consider the noisy underdetermined system of linear equations: y=Ax0 + z0, with n x N measurement matrix A, n < N, and Gaussian white noise z0 ~ N(0,\sigma^2 I). Both y and A are known, both x0 and z0 are unknown, and we seek an…

Analysis of non-asymptotic estimation error and structured statistical recovery based on norm regularized regression, such as Lasso, needs to consider four aspects: the norm, the loss function, the design matrix, and the noise model. This…

In the Gaussian sequence model $Y=\mu+\xi$, we study the likelihood ratio test (LRT) for testing $H_0: \mu=\mu_0$ versus $H_1: \mu \in K$, where $\mu_0 \in K$, and $K$ is a closed convex set in $\mathbb{R}^n$. In particular, we show that…

A popular approach for estimating an unknown signal from noisy, linear measurements is via solving a so called \emph{regularized M-estimator}, which minimizes a weighted combination of a convex loss function and of a convex (typically,…
