We study a problem of estimation of smooth functionals of parameter $\theta $ of Gaussian shift model $$ X=\theta +\xi,\ \theta \in E, $$ where $E$ is a separable Banach space and $X$ is an observation of unknown vector $\theta$ in Gaussian…

Let $X^{(n)}$ be an observation sampled from a distribution $P_{\theta}^{(n)}$ with an unknown parameter $\theta,$ $\theta$ being a vector in a Banach space $E$ (most often, a high-dimensional space of dimension $d$). We study the problem…

Let $X_1,\dots, X_n$ be i.i.d. random variables sampled from a normal distribution $N(\mu,\Sigma)$ in ${\mathbb R}^d$ with unknown parameter $\theta=(\mu,\Sigma)\in \Theta:={\mathbb R}^d\times {\mathcal C}_+^d,$ where ${\mathcal C}_+^d$ is…

This paper studies the estimation of smooth functionals $f(\theta)$ of a mean parameter $\theta = \mathbb{E}_P[W]$ for a distribution $P$ on a general Banach space. We propose a cross-fitted estimator based on a single sample splitting and…

We consider the problem of estimating an unknown function f* and its partial derivatives from a noisy data set of n observations, where we make no assumptions about f* except that it is smooth in the sense that it has square integrable…

Let $X$ be a centered Gaussian random variable in a separable Hilbert space ${\mathbb H}$ with covariance operator $\Sigma.$ We study a problem of estimation of a smooth functional of $\Sigma$ based on a sample $X_1,\dots ,X_n$ of $n$…

In state space models, smoothing refers to the task of estimating a latent stochastic process given noisy measurements related to the process. We propose an unbiased estimator of smoothing expectations. The lack-of-bias property has…

We present the first q-Gaussian smoothed functional (SF) estimator of the Hessian and the first Newton-based stochastic optimization algorithm that estimates both the Hessian and the gradient of the objective function using q-Gaussian…

This paper presents a novel Bayesian strategy for the estimation of smooth signals corrupted by Gaussian noise. The method assumes a smooth evolution of a succession of continuous signals that can have a numerical or an analytical…

We consider the problem of estimating an additive regression function in an inverse regres- sion model with a convolution type operator. A smooth backfitting procedure is developed and asymptotic normality of the resulting estimator is…

This paper studies estimation of a smooth function $f(t,s)$ when we are given functional responses of the form $f(t,\cdot)$ + error, but scientific interest centers on the collection of functions $f(\cdot,s)$ for different $s$. The…

In this paper we prove the first result of Nekhoroshev stability for steep Hamiltonians in H\"older class. Our new approach combines the classical theory of normal forms in analytic category with an improved smoothing procedure to…

We study function estimation in the empirical Bayes setting for Poisson and normal means. Specifically, given observations $Y_i\sim f(\cdot; \theta_i)$ with latent parameters $\theta_i\sim \pi$, the goal is to estimate…

We study an estimator for smoothing irregularly sampled data into a smooth map. The estimator has been widely used in astronomy, owing to its low level of noise; it involves a weight function -- or smoothing kernel -- w(\theta). We show…

We propose modeling raw functional data as a mixture of a smooth function and a highdimensional factor component. The conventional approach to retrieving the smooth function from the raw data is through various smoothing techniques.…

We consider Bayesian inverse problems arising in data assimilation for dynamical systems governed by partial and stochastic partial differential equations. The space-time dependent field is inferred jointly with static parameters of the…

Functional data are defined as realizations of random functions (mostly smooth functions) varying over a continuum, which are usually collected with measurement errors on discretized grids. In order to accurately smooth noisy functional…

Let $\bx_j = \btheta +\bep_j, j=1,...,n$, be observations of an unknown parameter $\btheta$ in a Euclidean or separable Hilbert space $\scrH$, where $\bep_j$ are noises as random elements in $\scrH$ from a general distribution. We study the…

Only recently, researchers attempt to provide classification algorithms with provable group fairness guarantees. Most of these algorithms suffer from harassment caused by the requirement that the training and deployment data follow the same…

We study a Bayesian approach to estimating a smooth function in the context of regression or classification problems on large graphs. We derive theoretical results that show how asymptotically optimal Bayesian regularization can be achieved…
