On the rate of convergence for the autocorrelation operator in functional autoregression

Victor Panaretos, Alessia Caponera

We consider the problem of estimating the autocorrelation operator of an autoregressive Hilbertian process. By means of a Tikhonov approach, we establish a general result that yields the convergence rate of the estimated autocorrelation operator as a funct ...

PoGaIN: Poisson-Gaussian Image Noise Modeling From Paired Samples

Sabine Süsstrunk, Majed El Helou, Kaan Okumus

Image noise can often be accurately fitted to a Poisson-Gaussian distribution. However, estimating the distribution parameters from a noisy image only is a challenging task. Here, we study the case when paired noisy and noise-free samples are accessible. N ...

Sparsely Observed Functional Time Series: Theory and Applications

Tomas Rubin

Functional time series is a temporally ordered sequence of not necessarily independent random curves. While the statistical analysis of such data has been traditionally carried out under the assumption of completely observed functional data, it may well ha ...

Towards the Validation of Noise Experiments in the CROCUS Reactor Using the TRIPOLI-4 Monte Carlo Code in Analog Mode

Andreas Pautz, Oskari Ville Pakari, Vincent Pierre Lamirand

Intrinsic neutron noise experiments offer a non-invasive manner to measure the prompt decay constant or reactivity of fissile systems. Using the fluctuations in the density of fission chains, one can infer the kinetics parameters via correlation analysis s ...

SiML: Sieved Maximum Likelihood for Array Signal Processing

Paul Hurley, Matthieu Martin Jean-André Simeoni

Stochastic Maximum Likelihood (SML) is a popular direction of arrival (DOA) estimation technique in array signal processing. It is a parametric method that jointly estimates signal and instrument noise by maximum likelihood, achieving excellent statistical ...

Gaussian and sparse processes are limits of generalized Poisson processes

Michaël Unser, Virginie Sophie Uhlmann, Julien René Pierre Fageot

The theory of sparse stochastic processes offers a broad class of statistical models to study signals, far beyond the more classical class of Gaussian processes. In this framework, signals are represented as realizations of random processes that are soluti ...

Functional lagged regression with sparse noisy observations

Victor Panaretos, Tomas Rubin

A functional (lagged) time series regression model involves the regression of scalar response time series on a time series of regressors that consists of a sequence of random functions. In practice, the underlying regressor curve time series are not always ...

Blind Universal Bayesian Image Denoising With Gaussian Noise Level Learning

Sabine Süsstrunk, Majed El Helou

Blind and universal image denoising consists of using a unique model that denoises images with any level of noise. It is especially practical as noise levels do not need to be known when the model is developed or at test time. We propose a theoretically-gr ...

Wasserstein Distributionally Robust Learning

Soroosh Shafieezadeh Abadeh

Many decision problems in science, engineering, and economics are affected by uncertainty, which is typically modeled by a random variable governed by an unknown probability distribution. For many practical applications, the probability distribution is onl ...

Removing Structured Noise With Self-Supervised Blind-Spot Networks

Martin Weigert

Removal of noise from fluorescence microscopy images is an important first step in many biological analysis pipelines. Current state-of-the-art supervised methods employ convolutional neural networks that are trained with clean (ground-truth) images. Recen ...

Generating Sparse Stochastic Processes Using Matched Splines

Michaël Unser, Shayan Aziznejad, Leello Tadesse Dadi

We provide an algorithm to generate trajectories of sparse stochastic processes that are solutions of linear ordinary differential equations driven by Levy white noises. A recent paper showed that these processes are limits in law of generalized compound-P ...
