摘要:This paper considers the problem of testing and estimation of change point where signals after the change point can be highly irregular, which departs from the existing literature that assumes signals after the change point to be piecewise constant or vary smoothly. A two-step approach is proposed to effectively estimate the location of the change point. The first step consists of a preliminary estimation of the change point that allows us to obtain unknown parameters for the second step. In t...

摘要:The extremal dependence structure of a regularly varying random vector X is fully described by its limiting spectral measure. In this paper, we investigate how to recover characteristics of the measure, such as extremal coefficients, from the extremal behaviour of convex combinations of components of X. Our considerations result in a class of new estimators of moments of the corresponding combinations for the spectral vector. We show asymptotic normality by means of a functional limit theorem ...

摘要:Segmented regression models offer model flexibility and interpretability as compared to the global parametric and the nonparametric models, and yet are challenging in both estimation and inference. We consider a four-regime segmented model for temporally dependent data with segmenting boundaries depending on multivariate covariates with nondiminishing boundary effects. A mixed integer quadratic programming algorithm is formulated to facilitate the least square estimation of the regression and ...

摘要:We study the tensor-on-tensor regression, where the goal is to connect tensor responses to tensor covariates with a low Tucker rank parameter tensor/matrix without prior knowledge of its intrinsic rank. We propose the Riemethods and cope with the challenge of unknown rank by studying the effect of rank over-parameterization. We provide the first convergence guarantee for the general tensor-on-tensor regression by showing that RGD and RGN respectively converge linearly and quadratically to a st...

摘要:This paper presents asymptotic results for the maximum likelihood and restricted maximum likelihood (REML) estimators within a two-way crossed mixed effect model, when the number of rows, columns, and the number of observations per cell tend to infinity. The relative growth rate for the number of rows, columns, and cells is unrestricted, whether considered pairwise or collectively. Under very mild conditions (which include moment conditions instead of requiring normality for either the random ...

摘要:Deep neural networks have achieved tremendous success due to their representation power and adaptation to low-dimensional structures. Their potential for estimating structured regression functions has been recently established in the literature. However, most of the studies require the input dimension to be fixed, and consequently, they ignore the effect of dimension on the rate of convergence and hamper their applications to modern big data with high dimensionality. In this paper, we bridge t...

摘要:Gaussian deterministic approximations are routinely employed in Bayesian statistics to ease inference when the target posterior is intractable. While these approximations are justified, in asymptotic regimes, by Bernstein-von Mises type results, in practice the expected Gaussian behavior might poorly represent the actual shape of the target posterior, thus affecting approximation accuracy. Motivated by these considerations, we derive an improved class of closed-form and valid deterministic app...

摘要:We propose a new procedure for testing whether two networks are edgecorrelated through some latent vertex correspondence. The test statistic is based on counting the cooccurrences of signed trees for a family of nonisomorphic trees. When the two networks are Erdos-R & eacute;nyi random graphs G(n, q) that are either independent or correlated with correlation coefficient rho, our test runs in n(2+o(1)) time and succeeds with high probability as n -> infinity, provided that n min{q, 1 - q} >= n(...

摘要:The sample amplification problem formalizes the following question: Given n i.i.d. samples drawn from an unknown distribution P, when is it possible to produce a larger set of n + m samples which cannot be distinguished from n + m i.i.d. samples drawn from P? In this work, we provide a firm statistical foundation for this problem by deriving generally applicable amplification procedures, lower bound techniques and connections to existing statistical notions. Our techniques apply to a large cla...

摘要:Estimation problems with constrained parameter spaces arise in various settings. In many of these problems, the observations available to the statistician can be modelled as arising from the noisy realization of the image of a random linear operator; an important special case is random design regression. We derive sharp rates of estimation for arbitrary compact elliptical parameter sets and demonstrate how they depend on the distribution of the random linear operator. Our main result is a func...
