Abstract

In this paper, we introduce a computational framework for recovering a high-resolution approximation of an unknown function from its low-resolution indirect measurements as well as high-resolution training observations by merging the frameworks of generalized sampling and functional principal component analysis. In particular, we increase the signal resolution via a data driven approach, which models the function of interest as a realization of a random field and leverages a training set of observations generated via the same underlying random process. We study the performance of the resulting estimation procedure and show that high-resolution recovery is indeed possible provided appropriate low-rank and angle conditions hold and provided the training set is sufficiently large relative to the desired resolution. Moreover, we show that the size of the training set can be reduced by leveraging sparse representations of the functional principal components. Furthermore, the effectiveness of the proposed reconstruction procedure is illustrated by various numerical examples.

Sample complexity and weak limits of nonsmooth multimarginal Schrödinger system with application to optimal transport barycenter

Multimarginal optimal transport (MOT) has emerged as a useful framework for many applied problems. However, compared to the well-studied classical two-marginal optimal transport theory, analysis of MOT is far more challenging and remains much less developed. In this paper, we study the statistical estimation and inference problems for the entropic MOT (EMOT), whose optimal solution is characterized by the multimarginal Schrödinger system. Assuming only boundedness of the cost function, we derive sharp sample complexity for estimating several key quantities pertaining to EMOT (cost functional and Schrödinger coupling) from point clouds that are randomly sampled from the input marginal distributions. Moreover, with substantially weaker smoothness assumption on the cost function than the existing literature, we derive distributional limits and bootstrap validity of various key EMOT objects. As an application, we propose the multimarginal Schrödinger barycenter as a new and natural way to regularize the exact Wasserstein barycenter and demonstrate its statistical optimality.

Nonparametric spectral density estimation using interactive mechanisms under local differential privacy

We study the problem of estimating the spectral density of a centered stationary Gaussian time series under local differential privacy constraints. Specifically, we propose new interactive privacy mechanisms for three tasks: recovering a single covariance coefficient, recovering the spectral density at a fixed frequency, and global recovery. Our approach achieves faster rates through a two-stage process: we first apply the Laplace mechanism to the truncated value, and then use the resulting privatized sample to learn about the dependence mechanism in the time series. For spectral densities belonging to Hölder and Sobolev smoothness classes, we demonstrate that our algorithms improve upon the non-interactive mechanism of Kroll (2024) for small privacy parameter $α$, since the pointwise rates depend on $nα^2$ instead of $nα^4$. Moreover, we show that the rate $(nα^4)^{-1}$ is optimal for estimating a covariance coefficient with non-interactive mechanisms. However, the $L_2$ rate of our interactive estimator is slower than the pointwise rate. We show how to use these procedures to provide a bona fide locally differentially private estimator of the entire covariance matrix. A simulation study validates our findings.

Estimating eigenvectors and eigenspaces of covariance matrices: Optimal Bounds and Conditions for Consistency

Let $X = [ ξ_1, \,\, ξ_2,...\,\, ,ξ_d]^\top$ be a zero-mean random vector of large dimension $d$ ($d \rightarrow \infty$) with (hidden) covariance matrix $M = (m_{ij})_{1 \leq i, j \leq d},$ where $m_{ij} = m_{ji} = \textbf{Cov}(ξ_i, ξ_j).$ Let $X_1, X_2, \dots, X_n$ be $n$ iid samples of $X$. Consider the sample covariance matrix $$\textstyle \tilde{M} := \frac{1}{n} \sum_{i=1}^{n} X_i X_i^\top.$$ In practice, one frequently uses the eigenvectors and eigenspaces of $\tilde M$ as estimators for those of $M$. A central task is to provide an error analysis for these estimators. In this paper, we provide an optimal error analysis, obtaining upper and lower bounds of matching order of magnitude, for a wide range of parameters $d$ and $n$, under mild assumptions on $M$. As corollaries, we obtain new necessary and sufficient conditions for the consistency of the estimators. In these conditions, we only require the number of samples $n$ to depend linearly on the effective rank of $M$, which can be much smaller than the dimension $d$.
