Conformal Frequency Estimation using Discrete Sketched Data with Coverage for Distinct Queries

Matteo Sesia, Stefano Favaro, Edgar Dobriban

This paper develops conformal inference methods to construct a confidence interval for the frequency of a queried object in a very large discrete data set, based on a sketch with a…

Bayesian nonparametric estimation of coverage probabilities and distinct counts from sketched data

Stefano Favaro, Matteo Sesia

The estimation of coverage probabilities, and in particular of the missing mass, is a classical statistical problem with applications in numerous scientific fields. In this paper,…

Large-width asymptotics for ReLU neural networks with -Stable initializations

Stefano Favaro, Sandra Fortini, Stefano Peluchetti

There is a recent and growing literature on large-width asymptotic properties of Gaussian neural networks (NNs), namely NNs whose weights are initialized as Gaussian distributions.…

Conformal Frequency Estimation with Sketched Data

Matteo Sesia, Stefano Favaro

A flexible conformal inference method is developed to construct confidence intervals for the frequencies of queried objects in very large data sets, based on a much smaller sketch…

Strong posterior contraction rates via Wasserstein dynamics

Emanuele Dolera, Stefano Favaro, Edoardo Mainini

In Bayesian statistics, posterior contraction rates (PCRs) quantify the speed at which the posterior distribution concentrates on arbitrarily small neighborhoods of a true model, i…

A Bayesian Nonparametric Approach to Species Sampling Problems with Ordering

Cecilia Balocchi, Federico Camerlenghi, Stefano Favaro

Species-sampling problems (SSPs) refer to a vast class of statistical problems calling for the estimation of (discrete) functionals of the unknown species composition of an unobser…
