Linear discriminant analysis (LDA) is a well-known method for multiclass classification and dimensionality reduction. However, in general, ordinary LDA does not achieve high prediction accuracy when observations in some classes are…

Spectral dimensionality reduction methods enable linear separations of complex data with high-dimensional features in a reduced space. However, these methods do not always give the desired results due to irregularities or uncertainties of…
Networked systems usually face different random uncertainties that make the performance of the least-squares (LS) linear filter decline significantly. For this reason, great attention has been paid to the search for other kinds of…
We introduce a class of regularized M-estimators of multivariate scatter and show, analogous to the popular spatial sign covariance matrix (SSCM), that they possess high breakdown points. We also show that the SSCM can be viewed as an…

This paper studies the sample complexity of the stochastic Linear Quadratic Regulator when applied to systems with multiplicative noise. We assume that the covariance of the noise is unknown and estimate it using the sample covariance,…
Given observations of a collection of covariates and responses $(Y, X) \in \mathbb{R}^p \times \mathbb{R}^q$, sufficient dimension reduction (SDR) techniques aim to identify a mapping $f: \mathbb{R}^q \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^k$ with $k \ll…
In many social, economical, biological and medical studies, one objective is to classify a subject into one of several classes based on a set of variables observed from the subject. Because the probability distribution of the variables is…
Modern neural networks (NNs) often do not generalize well in the presence of a "covariate shift"; that is, in situations where the training and test data distributions differ, but the conditional distribution of classification labels…
It is still common to use Q-learning and temporal difference (TD) learning-even though they have divergence issues and sound Gradient TD alternatives exist-because divergence seems rare and they typically perform well. However, recent work…
