We investigate a generalized framework to estimate a latent low-rank plus sparse tensor, where the low-rank tensor often captures the multi-way principal components and the sparse tensor accounts for potential model mis-specifications or…

This paper studies the $\tau$-coherence of a (n x p)-observation matrix in a Gaussian framework. The $\tau$-coherence is defined as the largest magnitude outside a diagonal bandwith of size $\tau$ of the empirical correlation coefficients…

Random linear mappings are widely used in modern signal processing, compressed sensing and machine learning. These mappings may be used to embed the data into a significantly lower dimension while at the same time preserving useful…

In this paper, we propose a procedure to test the independence of bivariate censored data, which is generic and applicable to any censoring types in the literature. To test the hypothesis, we consider a rank-based statistic, Kendall's tau…

A fundamental problem in statistics is measuring the correlation between two rankings of a set of items. Kendall's $\tau$ and Spearman's $\rho$ are well established correlation coefficients whose symmetric structure guarantees zero expected…

Gaussian processes (GP) are Bayesian non-parametric models that are widely used for probabilistic regression. Unfortunately, it cannot scale well with large data nor perform real-time predictions due to its cubic time cost in the data size.…

Let $\mathbf{Q}=(Q_1,\ldots,Q_n)$ be a random vector drawn from the uniform distribution on the set of all $n!$ permutations of $\{1,2,\ldots,n\}$. Let $\mathbf{Z}=(Z_1,\ldots,Z_n)$, where $Z_j$ is the mean zero variance one random variable…

Motivated by the importance ascribed to correlations in random matrices used to model phenomena in various scientific disciplines, we report how algebraic correlations between matrix elements affect the eigenvalue statistics and spectral…

We consider distributed estimation of the inverse covariance matrix, also called the concentration or precision matrix, in Gaussian graphical models. Traditional centralized estimation often requires global inference of the covariance…

We propose elliptical graphical models based on conditional uncorrelatedness as a general- ization of Gaussian graphical models by letting the population distribution be elliptical instead of normal, allowing the fitting of data with…

We propose a semiparametric approach, named nonparanormal skeptic, for estimating high dimensional undirected graphical models. In terms of modeling, we consider the nonparanormal family proposed by Liu et al (2009). In terms of estimation,…

Area Under the Curve (AUC) is arguably the most popular measure of classification accuracy. We use a semiparametric framework to introduce a latent scale-invariant $R^2$, a novel measure of variation explained for an observed binary outcome…

We proposed a general Principal Orthogonal complEment Thresholding (POET) framework for large-scale covariance matrix estimation based on an approximate factor model. A set of high level sufficient conditions for the procedure to achieve…

Random matrices acting on structured sets play a fundamental role in high-dimensional geometry, compressed sensing, and randomized algorithms. Existing results primarily focus on subgaussian models, when random matrices act as…

In learned image compression, probabilistic models play an essential role in characterizing the distribution of latent variables. The Gaussian model with mean and scale parameters has been widely used for its simplicity and effectiveness.…

We first consider the sequential detection of transient signals by generalizing the moving average chart to exponential family and study the false detection probability (FDP) and power of detection (POD) in the steady state. Then windowed…

In this paper, we derive a unified method for establishing the distributional convergence of linear eigenvalue statistics (LES) for generalized patterned random matrices. We prove that for an $N \times N$ generalized patterned random matrix…

We treat the problem of testing independence between m continuous variables when m can be larger than the available sample size n. We consider three types of test statistics that are constructed as sums or sums of squares of pairwise rank…

Bandeira et al. (2017) show that the eigenvalues of the Kendall correlation matrix of $n$ i.i.d. random vectors in $\mathbb{R}^p$ are asymptotically distributed like $1/3 + (2/3)Y_q$, where $Y_q$ has a Mar\v{c}enko-Pastur law with parameter…
