Least Squares Estimation

Recursive Least Squares Estimation

We start with estimation of a constant based on several noisy measurements. Suppose we have a resistor but do not know its resistance. So we measure it several times using a cheap (and noisy) multimeter. How do we come up with a good estimate of the resistance based on these noisy measurements? More formally, suppose x = (x1, x2, . . . , xn) T is a constant but unknown vector, and y = (y1, y2, ...

Nonlinear Least-squares Estimation

The paper uses empirical process techniques to study the asymptotics of the least-squares estimator for the fitting of a nonlinear regression function. By combining and extending ideas of Wu and Van de Geer, it establishes new consistency and central limit theorems that hold under only second moment assumptions on the errors. An application to a delicate example of Wu’s illustrates the use of t...

Least-Squares Conditional Density Estimation

Estimating the conditional mean of an input-output relation is the goal of regression. However, regression analysis is not sufficiently informative if the conditional distribution has multi-modality, is highly asymmetric, or contains heteroscedastic noise. In such scenarios, estimating the conditional distribution itself would be more useful. In this paper, we propose a novel method of conditio...
