This paper studies linear convergence of the subspace constrained mean shift (SCMS) algorithm, a well-known algorithm for identifying a density ridge defined by a kernel density estimator. By arguing that the SCMS algorithm is a special variant of a subspace constrained gradient ascent (SCGA) algorithm with an adaptive step size, we derive linear convergence of such SCGA algorithm. While the existing research focuses mainly on density ridges in the Euclidean space, we generalize density ridges and the SCMS algorithm to directional data. In particular, we establish the stability theorem of density ridges with directional data and prove the linear convergence of our proposed directional SCMS algorithm.

We analyze the convergence behaviour of a recently proposed algorithm for regularized estimation called Dual Augmented Lagrangian (DAL). Our analysis is based on a new interpretation of DAL as a proximal minimization algorithm. We theoretically show
under some conditions that DAL converges super-linearly in a non-asymptotic and global sense. Due to a special modelling of sparse estimation problems in the context of machine learning, the assumptions we make are milder and more natural than those made in conventional analysis of augmented Lagrangian algorithms. In addition, the new interpretation enables us to generalize DAL to wide varieties of sparse estimation problems. We experimentally confirm our analysis in a large scale $ell_1$-regularized logistic regression problem and extensively compare the efficiency of DAL algorithm to previously proposed algorithms on both synthetic and benchmark datasets.
This paper proposes a new estimator for selecting weights to average over least squares estimates obtained from a set of models. Our proposed estimator builds on the Mallows model average (MMA) estimator of Hansen (2007), but, unlike MMA, simultaneou
sly controls for location bias and regression error through a common constant. We show that our proposed estimator-- the mean-shift Mallows model average (MSA) estimator-- is asymptotically optimal to the original MMA estimator in terms of mean squared error. A simulation study is presented, where we show that our proposed estimator uniformly outperforms the MMA estimator.
We study the Bayesian inverse problem of learning a linear operator on a Hilbert space from its noisy pointwise evaluations on random input data. Our framework assumes that this target operator is self-adjoint and diagonal in a basis shared with the
Gaussian prior and noise covariance operators arising from the imposed statistical model and is able to handle target operators that are compact, bounded, or even unbounded. We establish posterior contraction rates with respect to a family of Bochner norms as the number of data tend to infinity and derive related lower bounds on the estimation error. In the large data limit, we also provide asymptotic convergence rates of suitably defined excess risk and generalization gap functionals associated with the posterior mean point estimator. In doing so, we connect the posterior consistency results to nonparametric learning theory. Furthermore, these convergence rates highlight and quantify the difficulty of learning unbounded linear operators in comparison with the learning of bounded or compact ones. Numerical experiments confirm the theory and demonstrate that similar conclusions may be expected in more general problem settings.
We analyze the convergence properties of the Wang-Landau algorithm. This sampling method belongs to the general class of adaptive importance sampling strategies which use the free energy along a chosen reaction coordinate as a bias. Such algorithms a
re very helpful to enhance the sampling properties of Markov Chain Monte Carlo algorithms, when the dynamics is metastable. We prove the convergence of the Wang-Landau algorithm and an associated central limit theorem.
This paper proposes a fast and accurate method for sparse regression in the presence of missing data. The underlying statistical model encapsulates the low-dimensional structure of the incomplete data matrix and the sparsity of the regression coeffic
ients, and the proposed algorithm jointly learns the low-dimensional structure of the data and a linear regressor with sparse coefficients. The proposed stochastic optimization method, Sparse Linear Regression with Missing Data (SLRM), performs an alternating minimization procedure and scales well with the problem size. Large deviation inequalities shed light on the impact of the various problem-dependent parameters on the expected squared loss of the learned regressor. Extensive simulations on both synthetic and real datasets show that SLRM performs better than competing algorithms in a variety of contexts.
