This paper considers a particular parameter estimator for switched systems and analyzes its properties. The estimator in question is defined as the map from the data set to the solution set of an optimization problem where the…
Parameter estimation in a class of heteroscedastic time series models is investigated. The existence of conditional least-squares and conditional likelihood estimators is proved. Their consistency and their asymptotic normality are…
We provide a probabilistic characterization of criticality, subcriticality, and supercriticality for subordinated Schr\"{o}dinger operators. We also investigate the relationship between the subcriticality of these operators and the uniform…
We study a regression problem where for some part of the data we observe both the label variable ($Y$) and the predictors (${\bf X}$), while for other part of the data only the predictors are given. Such a problem arises, for example, when…
In the context of Structural Risk Minimization, one is presented a sequence of classes $\{\mathcal{G}_j\}$ from which, given a random sample $(X_i,Y_i)$ one wants to choose a strongly consistent estimator. For certain types of classes of…
In this note, we derive bounds on the median bias of univariate M-estimators under mild regularity conditions. These requirements are not sufficient to imply convergence in distribution of the M-estimators. We also discuss median bias of…
We describe properties of a Hermitian square matrix M in M_n(C) equivalent to that of having minimal quotient norm in the following sense: ||M|| <= ||M+D|| for all real diagonal matrices D in M_n(C) and || || the operator norm. These…
The least mean-square (LMS) filter is one of the most common adaptive linear estimation algorithms. In many practical scenarios, and particularly in digital communications systems, the signal of interest (SOI) and the input signal are…
Mrs. Gerber's Lemma lower bounds the entropy at the output of a binary symmetric channel in terms of the entropy of the input process. In this paper, we lower bound the output entropy via a different measure of input uncertainty, pertaining…
We propose a procedure to handle the problem of Gaussian regression when the variance is unknown. We mix least-squares estimators from various models according to a procedure inspired by that of Leung and Barron (2007). We show that in some…
We consider least squares estimators of the finite regression parameter $\alpha$ in the single index regression model $Y=\psi(\alpha^T X)+\epsilon$, where $X$ is a $d$-dimensional random vector, $\E(Y|X)=\psi(\alpha^T X)$, and where $\psi$…
The main purpose of this article is to prove that, under certain assumptions in a linear prediction setting, optimal methods based upon model reduction and even an optimal predictor can be provided. The optimality is formulated in terms of…
We construct least squares formulations of PDEs with inhomogeneous essential boundary conditions, where boundary residuals are not measured in unpractical fractional Sobolev norms, but which formulations nevertheless are shown to yield a…
Constant gain least-mean-squares (LMS) algorithms have a wide range of applications in trajectory tracking problems, but the formal convergence of LMS in mean square is not yet fully established. This work provides an upper bound on the…
In small area estimation different data sources are integrated in order to produce reliable estimates of target parameters (e.g., a mean or a proportion) for a collection of small subsets (areas) of a finite population. Regression models…
We consider least squares estimation in a general nonparametric regression model. The rate of convergence of the least squares estimator (LSE) for the unknown regression function is well studied when the errors are sub-Gaussian. We find…
An effective two-stage method for an estimation of parameters of the linear regression is considered. For this purpose we introduce a certain quasi-estimator that, in contrast to usual estimator, produces two alternative estimates. It is…
We study the problem of estimating the mean of a multivariatedistribution based on independent samples. The main result is the proof of existence of an estimator with a non-asymptotic sub-Gaussian performance for all distributions…
The limit distribution of the nonparametric maximum likelihood estimator for interval censored data with more than one observation time per unobservable observation, is still unknown in general. For the so-called separated case, where one…
We propose a framework for computing, optimizing and integrating with respect to a smooth marginal likelihood in statistical models that involve high-dimensional parameters/latent variables and continuous low-dimensional hyperparameters.…
