Y = β0 + (β1 + β2)X1 + and we may get a good estimate of Y estimating 2 parameters instead of 3. Our estimate will be a bit biased but we may lower our variance considerably creating an estimate with smaller expected prediciton error than the least squares estimate. We won’t be able to interpret the estimated parameter, but our prediction may be good. In subset selection regression we select a ...

Several models in data analysis are estimated by minimizing the objective function defined as the residual sum of squares between the model and the data.A necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a least squares estimator is that the objective function attains its infimum at a unique point. It is shown that the objective function for Parafac-2 need not attain its infimum, and tha...

Let X,, , X, be a sequence of independent and identically distributed random variables with an unknown underlying continuous cumulative distribution function F. Relative to this unknown distribution function suppose one would like to test a null hypothesis concerning the goodness of fit of F to some distribution function using symmetric functions of sample spacings. In some applications the nul...

MESERVEY, R., 1971. The coastline fit of Africa and South America. Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatol., Palaeoecol., 9: 233-243. It has become axiomatic that the pre-drift reconstruction of Africa and South America is to be made by fitting together the continental shelves. Although this procedure is very plausible, actually the detailed fit of the coastlines is better than that of the shelves and ...

We introduce a new framework for unifying and systematizing the performance analysis of first-order black-box optimization algorithms unconstrained convex minimization. The low-cost iteration complexity enjoyed by renders them particularly relevant applications in machine learning large-scale data analysis. Relying on sum-of-squares (SOS) optimization, we hierarchy semidefinite programs that gi...
