We consider a general stochastic input-output dynamical system with output evolving in time as the solution to a functional coefficients, It\^{o}'s stochastic differential equation, excited by an input process. This general class of…

We prove conditional asymptotic normality of a class of quadratic U-statistics that are dominated by their degenerate second order part and have kernels that change with the number of observations. These statistics arise in the construction…

The design of informatively rich input signals is essential for accurate system identification, yet classical Fisher-information-based methods are inherently local and often inadequate in the presence of significant model uncertainty and…

We analyze the asymptotic performance of sparse signal recovery from noisy measurements. In particular, we generalize some of the existing results for the Gaussian case to subgaussian and other ensembles. An achievable result is presented…

We study estimation in the linear model $y=A\beta^\star+\epsilon$, in a Bayesian setting where $\beta^\star$ has an entrywise i.i.d. prior and the design $A$ is rotationally-invariant in law. In the large system limit as dimension and…

In a number of data-driven applications such as detection of arrhythmia, interferometry or audio compression, observations are acquired indistinctly in the time or frequency domains: temporal observations allow us to study the spectral…

In many statistical problems, a more coarse-grained model may be suitable for population-level behaviour, whereas a more detailed model is appropriate for accurate modelling of individual behaviour. This raises the question of how to…
