In this paper we study the effective degrees of freedom of a general class of reduced rank estimators for multivariate regression in the framework of Stein's unbiased risk estimation (SURE). We derive a finite-sample exact unbiased…
In the framework of matrix valued observables with low rank means, Stein's unbiased risk estimate (SURE) can be useful for risk estimation and for tuning the amount of shrinkage towards low rank matrices. This was demonstrated by Cand\`es…
Stein's unbiased risk estimate (SURE) gives an unbiased estimate of the $\ell_2$ risk of any estimator of the mean of a Gaussian random vector. We focus here on the case when the estimator minimizes a quadratic loss term plus a convex…
We study the effective degrees of freedom of the lasso in the framework of Stein's unbiased risk estimation (SURE). We show that the number of nonzero coefficients is an unbiased estimate for the degrees of freedom of the lasso--a…
We consider the problem of estimating a low-rank signal matrix from noisy measurements under the assumption that the distribution of the data matrix belongs to an exponential family. In this setting, we derive generalized Stein's unbiased…
We give a general result on the effective degrees of freedom for nonlinear least squares estimation, which relates the degrees of freedom to the divergence of the estimator. We show that in a general framework, the divergence of the least…
In this work, we construct a risk estimator for hard thresholding which can be used as a basis to solve the difficult task of automatically selecting the threshold. As hard thresholding is not even continuous, Stein's lemma cannot be used…
Stein's unbiased risk estimate (SURE) was proposed by Stein for the independent, identically distributed (iid) Gaussian model in order to derive estimates that dominate least-squares (LS). In recent years, the SURE criterion has been…
In this paper, we consider the nonparametric regression problem with multivariate predictors. We provide a characterization of the degrees of freedom and divergence for estimators of the unknown regression function, which are obtained as…
Algorithms to solve variational regularization of ill-posed inverse problems usually involve operators that depend on a collection of continuous parameters. When these operators enjoy some (local) regularity, these parameters can be…
Nearly all estimators in statistical prediction come with an associated tuning parameter, in one way or another. Common practice, given data, is to choose the tuning parameter value that minimizes a constructed estimate of the prediction…
Model selection in penalized regression critically depends on an accurate assessment of model complexity, commonly quantified through the effective degrees of freedom. While the Lasso admits a simple and unbiased characterization, given by…
Unrolled neural networks emerged recently as an effective model for learning inverse maps appearing in image restoration tasks. However, their generalization risk (i.e., test mean-squared-error) and its link to network design and train…
Over the past few years, trace regression models have received considerable attention in the context of matrix completion, quantum state tomography, and compressed sensing. Estimation of the underlying matrix from regularization-based…
Estimating the score, i.e., the gradient of log density function, from a set of samples generated by an unknown distribution is a fundamental task in inference and learning of probabilistic models that involve flexible yet intractable…
Stein's formula states that a random variable of the form $z^\top f(z) - \text{div} f(z)$ is mean-zero for functions $f$ with integrable gradient. Here, $\text{div} f$ is the divergence of the function $f$ and $z$ is a standard normal…
Suppose that we observe entries or, more generally, linear combinations of entries of an unknown $m\times T$-matrix $A$ corrupted by noise. We are particularly interested in the high-dimensional setting where the number $mT$ of unknown…
Stein's unbiased risk estimator (SURE) has been shown to be an effective metric for determining optimal parameters for many applications. The topic of this article is focused on the use of SURE for determining parameters for blind…
This paper discusses the properties of certain risk estimators recently proposed to choose regularization parameters in ill-posed problems. A simple approach is Stein's unbiased risk estimator (SURE), which estimates the risk in the data…
In an increasing number of applications, it is of interest to recover an approximately low-rank data matrix from noisy observations. This paper develops an unbiased risk estimate---holding in a Gaussian model---for any spectral estimator…
