Higher-order spectral perturbation expansions II: Kernel matrices and manifold learning

Bernhard Stankewitz, Martin Wahl

We study spectral concentration bounds for kernel matrices as approximation of the corresponding kernel integral operator. Results are established under weak assumptions on the dat…

On empirical Hodge Laplacians under the manifold hypothesis

Jan-Paul Lerch, Martin Wahl, Petr Zamolodtchikov

Given i.i.d. observations uniformly distributed on a closed submanifold of the Euclidean space, we study higher-order generalizations of graph Laplacians, so-called Hodge Laplacian…

Concentration and moment inequalities for sums of independent heavy-tailed random matrices

Moritz Jirak, Stanislav Minsker, Yiqiu Shen +1

We prove Fuk-Nagaev and Rosenthal-type inequalities for sums of independent random matrices, focusing on the situation when the norms of the matrices possess finite moments of only…

A note on the prediction error of principal component regression in high dimensions

Laura Hucker, Martin Wahl

We analyze the prediction error of principal component regression (PCR) and prove high probability bounds for the corresponding squared risk conditional on the design. Our first ma…

Optimal parameter estimation for linear SPDEs from multiple measurements

Randolf Altmeyer, Anton Tiepner, Martin Wahl

The coefficients in a second order parabolic linear stochastic partial differential equation (SPDE) are estimated from multiple spatially localised measurements. Assuming that the…

Nonparametric goodness-of-fit testing for parametric covariate models in pharmacometric analyses

Niklas Hartung, Martin Wahl, Abhishake Rastogi +1

The characterization of covariate effects on model parameters is a crucial step during pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic analyses. While covariate selection criteria have been studie…
