Linear Least Squares is a very well known technique for parameter estimation, which is used even when sub-optimal, because of its very low computational requirements and the fact that exact knowledge of the noise statistics is not required.…

We establish the first known upper bound on the exact and Wyner's common information of $n$ continuous random variables in terms of the dual total correlation between them (which is a generalization of mutual information). In particular, we…

We study expected values of the polynomials $P_N^{}(z)=\prod_{1\leq n\leq N}(X_n^2+z^2)$ whose $2N$ zeros $\{\pm i X_k\}^{}_{k=1,...,N}$ are generated by $N$ identically distributed multi-variate mean-zero normal random variables…

Orthogonal Matching Pursuit (OMP) has long been considered a powerful heuristic for attacking compressive sensing problems; however, its theoretical development is, unfortunately, somewhat lacking. This paper presents an improved Restricted…

This paper introduces some new characterizations of COM-Poisson random variables. First, it extends Moran-Chatterji characterization and generalizes Rao-Rubin characterization of Poisson distribution to COM-Poisson distribution. Then, it…

This paper studies higher index theory for a random sequence of bounded degree, finite graphs with diameter tending to infinity. We show that in a natural model for such random sequences the following hold almost surely: the coarse…

Gaussian processes (GP) provide a prior over functions and allow finding complex regularities in data. Gaussian processes are successfully used for classification/regression problems and dimensionality reduction. In this work we consider…

Let $A$ be an $N \times N$ Fourier matrix over $\mathbb{F}_p^{\log{N}/\log{p}}$ for some prime $p$. We improve upon known lower bounds for the number of rows of $A$ that must be sampled so that the resulting matrix $M$ satisfies the…

We consider the following data perturbation model, where the covariates incur multiplicative errors. For two $n \times m$ random matrices $U, X$, we denote by $U \circ X$ the Hadamard or Schur product, which is defined as $(U \circ X)_{ij}…

The Gaussian and Laguerre orthogonal ensembles are fundamental to random matrix theory, and the marginal eigenvalue distributions are basic observable quantities. Notwithstanding a long history, a formulation providing high precision…

In compressed sensing, the "restricted isometry property" (RIP) is a sufficient condition for the efficient reconstruction of a nearly k-sparse vector x in C^d from m linear measurements Phi x. It is desirable for m to be small, and for Phi…

We study discrete random variants of the Carleson maximal operator. Intriguingly, these questions remain subtle and difficult, even in this setting. Let $\{X_m\}$ be an independent sequence of $\{0,1\}$ random variables with expectations \[…

This article provides an original understanding of the behavior of a class of graph-oriented semi-supervised learning algorithms in the limit of large and numerous data. It is demonstrated that the intuition at the root of these methods…

It is natural to ask: what kinds of matrices satisfy the Restricted Eigenvalue (RE) condition? In this paper, we associate the RE condition (Bickel-Ritov-Tsybakov 09) with the complexity of a subset of the sphere in $\R^p$, where $p$ is the…

We observe a $N\times M$ matrix of independent, identically distributed Gaussian random variables which are centered except for elements of some submatrix of size $n\times m$ where the mean is larger than some $a>0$. The submatrix is sparse…

This paper discusses reconstruction of signals from few measurements in the situation that signals are sparse or approximately sparse in terms of a general frame via the $l_q$-analysis optimization with $0<q\leq 1$. We first introduce a…

Gaussian processes are distributions over functions that are versatile and mathematically convenient priors in Bayesian modelling. However, their use is often impeded for data with large numbers of observations, $N$, due to the cubic (in…

Spectral properties of Gram matrices are central to high dimensional asymptotic analyses of statistical estimators in regression and covariance estimation. These properties, in turn, depend critically on the extreme singular values and…

Let $G$ be a compact Lie group, $N\geq 1$ and $L>0$. The random geometric graph on $G$ is the random graph $\Gamma(N,L)$ whose vertices are $N$ random points $g_1,\ldots,g_N$ chosen under the Haar measure of $G$, and whose edges are the…

Let $B(n,p)$ denote a binomial random variable with parameters $n$ and $p$. Vas\v{e}k Chv\'{a}tal conjectured that for any fixed $n\geq 2$, as $m$ ranges over $\{0,\ldots,n\}$, the probability $q_m:=P(B(n,m/n)\leq m)$ is the smallest when…
