Entropy comparison inequalities are obtained for the differential entropy $h(X+Y)$ of the sum of two independent random vectors $X,Y$, when one is replaced by a Gaussian. For identically distributed random vectors $X,Y$, these are closely…

Suppose that a random variable $X$ of interest is observed perturbed by independent additive noise $Y$. This paper concerns the "the least favorable perturbation" $\hat Y_\ep$, which maximizes the prediction error $E(X-E(X|X+Y))^2$ in the…

$L_1$-Approximating polynomials, i.e., polynomials that approximate indicator functions in $L_1$-norm under certain distributions, are widely used in computational learning theory. We study the existence of \textit{non-negative}…

We study prediction in the functional linear model with functional outputs : $Y=SX+\epsilon $ where the covariates $X$ and $Y$ belong to some functional space and $S$ is a linear operator. We provide the asymptotic mean square prediction…

Conditional Sums-of-AM/GM-Exponentials (conditional SAGE) is a decomposition method to prove nonnegativity of a signomial or polynomial over some subset $X$ of real space. In this article, we undertake the first structural analysis of…

This paper considers estimation of a random variable in Poisson noise with signal scaling coefficient and dark current as explicit parameters of the noise model. Specifically, the paper focuses on properties of the conditional mean…

Let $Q_n(x)=\sum_{i=0}^{n} A_{i}x^{i}$ be a random algebraic polynomial where the coefficients $A_0,A_1,... $ form a sequence of centered Gaussian random variables. Moreover, assume that the increments $\Delta_j=A_j-A_{j-1}$, $j=0,1,2,...$…

We consider coherent sublinear expectations on a measurable space, without assuming the existence of a dominating probability measure. By considering a decomposition of the space in terms of the supports of the measures representing our…

Suppose that $n$ statistical units are observed, each following the model $Y(x_j)=m(x_j)+ \epsilon(x_j),\, j=1,...,N,$ where $m$ is a regression function, $0 \leq x_1 <...<x_N \leq 1$ are observation times spaced according to a sampling…

The minimum mean-squared error (MMSE) is one of the most popular criteria for Bayesian estimation. Conversely, the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is a typical performance criterion in communications, radar, and generally detection theory. In…

Finite sample bounds on the estimation error of the mean by the empirical mean, uniform over a class of functions, can often be conveniently obtained in terms of Rademacher or Gaussian averages of the class. If a function of n variables has…

We study the conditional distribution of zeros of a Gaussian system of random polynomials (and more generally, holomorphic sections), given that the polynomials or sections vanish at a point p (or a fixed finite set of points). The…

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.…

Given two distributions $\mathcal{P}$ and $\mathcal{Q}$ over a high-dimensional domain $\{0,1\}^n$, and a parameter $\varepsilon$, the goal of distance estimation is to determine the statistical distance between $\mathcal{P}$ and…

We study the problem of learning mixtures of linear classifiers under Gaussian covariates. Given sample access to a mixture of $r$ distributions on $\mathbb{R}^n$ of the form $(\mathbf{x},y_{\ell})$, $\ell\in [r]$, where…

In classical random matrix theory the Gaussian and chiral Gaussian random matrix models with a source are realized as shifted mean Gaussian, and chiral Gaussian, random matrices with real $(\beta = 1)$, complex ($\beta = 2)$ and real…

This paper focuses on the problem of separately modulating and jointly estimating two independent continuous-valued parameters sent over a Gaussian multiple-access channel (MAC) under the mean square error (MSE) criterion. To this end, we…

This paper presents a novel systematic methodology to obtain new simple and tight approximations, lower bounds, and upper bounds for the Gaussian Q-function, and functions thereof, in the form of a weighted sum of exponential functions.…

We consider the problem of estimating means of two Gaussians in a 2-Gaussian mixture, which is not balanced and is corrupted by noise of an arbitrary distribution. We present a robust algorithm to estimate the parameters, together with…

Two familiar notions of correlation are rediscovered as the extreme operating points for distributed synthesis of a discrete memoryless channel, in which a stochastic channel output is generated based on a compressed description of the…
