Concentration inequality for norm of solution to nonlinear least-squares problem

Define the piecewise-linear function $\psi(t):=\max(t,0)$ for all $t \in \mathbb R$. Let $d,n,k \to \infty$ at the same rate (i.e $n \asymp k \asymp d$). Let $y_1,\ldots,y_n \in \{-1,1\}$ uniformly ...

Non-parametric regression and curvature

Given a finite set of points $(x_1, y_1), (x_2, y_2), \ldots, (x_n, y_n)$ in the plane, Linear Regression tells us how to find the straight line "$y=a+bx$" best approximating the given points, in the ...

Minimization Proof of Conditioning on Gaussian is Gaussian

It is well known that $E[X|X+Y]$ is Gaussian if both $X$ and $Y$ are, and the result can be derived using standard density arguments. However, how can one prove it by only resulting to optimization ...

MSE of measurable function is still conditional expectation

Motivation Then the usual stochastic filtering problem says that: $$ \operatorname{argmin}_{Z \in L^2(\mathscr{G}_t)}\,\mathbb{E}[(Y_t-Z_t)^2], $$ where $\mathscr{G}_t$ is the $\sigma$-algebra ...
