This work studies finite sample approximations of the exact and entropic regularized Wasserstein distances between centered Gaussian processes and, more generally, covariance operators of functional random processes. We first show that…

By the continuous mapping theorem, if a sequence of $d$-dimensional random vectors $(\mathbf{W}_n)_{n\geq1}$ converges in distribution to a multivariate normal random variable $\Sigma^{1/2}\mathbf{Z}$, then the sequence of random variables…

This paper studies the problem of estimating the covariance of a collection of vectors using only highly compressed measurements of each vector. An estimator based on back-projections of these compressive samples is proposed and analyzed. A…

Let $U_1, \ldots, U_n$ be a collection of commuting measure preserving transformations on a probability space $(\Omega, \Sigma, \mu)$. Associated with these measure preserving transformations is the ergodic strong maximal operator $\mathsf…

This study aims at contributing to lower bounds for empirical compatibility constants or empirical restricted eigenvalues. This is of importance in compressed sensing and theory for $\ell_1$-regularized estimators. Let $X$ be an $n \times…

The spectral shift function \xi_{L}(E) for a Schr\"odinger operator restricted to a finite cube of length L in multi-dimensional Euclidean space, with Dirichlet boundary conditions, counts the number of eigenvalues less than or equal to E…

An infinite urn scheme is defined by a probability mass function $(p_j)_{j\geq1}$ over positive integers. A random allocation consists of a sample of $N$ independent drawings according to this probability distribution where $N$ may be…

Let $A$ be an $n\times n$ matrix with mutually independent centered Gaussian entries. Define \begin{align*} \sigma^*:=\max\limits_{i,j\leq n}\sqrt{{\mathbb E}\,|A_{i,j}|^2}, \quad \sigma:=\max\bigg(\max\limits_{j\leq n}\sqrt{{\mathbb…

Choosing models from a hypothesis space is a frequent task in approximation theory and inverse problems. Cross-validation is a classical tool in the learner's repertoire to compare the goodness of fit for different reconstruction models.…

Let $n$ be a sufficiently large natural number and let $B$ be an origin-symmetric convex body in $R^n$ in the $\ell$-position, and such that the normed space $(R^n,\|\cdot\|_B)$ admits a $1$-unconditional basis. Then for any…

Generalization under distribution shift remains a core challenge in modern machine learning, yet existing learning bound theory is limited to narrow, idealized settings and is non-estimable from samples. In this paper, we bridge the gap…

Many physical and mathematical models involve random fields in their input data. Examples are ordinary differential equations, partial differential equations and integro--differential equations with uncertainties in the coefficient…

Given a large set $U$ where each item $a\in U$ has weight $w(a)$, we want to estimate the total weight $W=\sum_{a\in U} w(a)$ to within factor of $1\pm\varepsilon$ with some constant probability $>1/2$. Since $n=|U|$ is large, we want to do…

Given a positive operator-valued measure $\nu$ acting on the Borel sets of a locally compact Hausdorff space $X$, with outcomes in the algebra $\mathcal B(\mathcal H)$ of all bounded operators on a (possibly infinite-dimensional) Hilbert…

We consider upper bounds for the approximation error E|g(X)-g(\hat X)|^p, where X and \hat X are random variables such that \hat X is an approximation of X in the L_p-norm, and the function g belongs to certain function classes, which…

We consider Gaussian measures $\mu, \tilde{\mu}$ on a separable Hilbert space, with fractional-order covariance operators $A^{-2\beta}$ resp. $\tilde{A}^{-2\tilde{\beta}}$, and derive necessary and sufficient conditions on $A, \tilde{A}$…

We establish a strong law of large numbers and a central limit theorem in the Bures-Wasserstein space of covariance operators -- or equivalently centred Gaussian measures -- over a general separable Hilbert space. Specifically, we show that…

The Expectation Maximization (EM) algorithm is of key importance for inference in latent variable models including mixture of regressors and experts, missing observations. This paper introduces a novel EM algorithm, called…

Estimating high-dimensional covariance matrices is a key task across many fields. This paper explores the theoretical limits of distributed covariance estimation in a feature-split setting, where communication between agents is constrained.…

Averaged operators have played an important role in fixed point theory in Hilbert spaces. They emerged as a necessity to obtain solutions to fixed point problems where the underlying operator is not contractive and thus renders Banach fixed…
