Empirical risk minimization over classes functions that are bounded for some version of the variation norm has a long history, starting with Total Variation Denoising (Rudin et al., 1992), and has been considered by several recent articles, in particular Fang et al., 2019 and van der Laan, 2015. In this article, we consider empirical risk minimization over the class $mathcal{F}_d$ of c`adl`ag functions over $[0,1]^d$ with bounded sectional variation norm (also called Hardy-Krause variation). We show how a certain representation of functions in $mathcal{F}_d$ allows to bound the bracketing entropy of sieves of $mathcal{F}_d$, and therefore derive rates of convergence in nonparametric function estimation. Specifically, for sieves whose growth is controlled by some rate $a_n$, we show that the empirical risk minimizer has rate of convergence $O_P(n^{-1/3} (log n)^{2(d-1)/3} a_n)$. Remarkably, the dimension only affects the rate in $n$ through the logarithmic factor, making this method especially appropriate for high dimensional problems. In particular, we show that in the case of nonparametric regression over sieves of c`adl`ag functions with bounded sectional variation norm, this upper bound on the rate of convergence holds for least-squares estimators, under the random design, sub-exponential errors setting.
The processes of the averaged regression quantiles and of their modifications provide useful tools in the regression models when the covariates are not fully under our control. As an application we mention the probabilistic risk assessment in the sit
We investigate rough differential equations with a time-dependent reflecting lower barrier, where both the driving (rough) path and the barrier itself may have jumps. Assuming the driving signals allow for Young integration, we provide existence, uni
We provide an empirical process theory for locally stationary processes over nonsmooth function classes. An important novelty over other approaches is the use of the flexible functional dependence measure to quantify dependence. A functional central
Using rough path theory, we provide a pathwise foundation for stochastic It^o integration, which covers most commonly applied trading strategies and mathematical models of financial markets, including those under Knightian uncertainty. To this end, w
This paper has two main goals: (a) establish several statistical properties---consistency, asymptotic distributions, and convergence rates---of stationary solutions and values of a class of coupled nonconvex and nonsmoothempirical risk minimization p
