In this paper, we study the issue of estimating a structured signal $x_0 \in \mathbb{R}^n$ from non-linear and noisy Gaussian observations. Supposing that $x_0$ is contained in a certain convex subset $K \subset \mathbb{R}^n$, we prove that…
Intensity estimation for Poisson processes is a classical problem and has been extensively studied over the past few decades. Practical observations, however, often contain compositional noise, i.e. a nonlinear shift along the time axis,…
Given noisy data, function estimation is considered when the unknown function is known apriori to consist of a small number of regions where the function is either convex or concave. When the regions are known apriori, the estimate is…
This paper considers the linear inverse problem where we wish to estimate a structured signal $x$ from its corrupted observations. When the problem is ill-posed, it is natural to make use of a convex function $f(\cdot)$ that exploits the…

In this paper we build provably near-optimal, in the minimax sense, estimates of linear forms and, more generally, "$N$-convex functionals" (the simplest example being the maximum of several fractional-linear functions) of unknown "signal"…
Most existing bounds for signal reconstruction from compressive measurements make the assumption of additive signal-independent noise. However in many compressive imaging systems, the noise statistics are more accurately represented by…
