Linear Time Isotonic and Unimodal Regression in the L1 and L∞ Norms
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider L1-isotonic regression and L∞ isotonic and unimodal regression. For L1isotonic regression, we present a linear time algorithm when the number of outputs are bounded. We extend the algorithm to construct an approximate isotonic regression in linear time when the output range is bounded. We present linear time algorithms for L∞ isotonic and unimodal regression.

Optimal Algorithms for Unimodal Regression
This paper gives optimal algorithms for determining realvalued univariate unimodal regressions, that is, for determining the optimal regression which is increasing and then decreasing. Such regressions arise in a wide variety of applications. They are a form of shape-constrained nonparametric regression, closely related to isotonic regression. For the L2 metric our algorithm requires only (n) t...
متن کاملAlgorithms for L∞ Isotonic Regression
This paper gives algorithms for determining L∞ weighted isotonic regressions satisfying order constraints given by a DAG with n vertices and m edges. Throughout, topological sorting plays an important role. A modification to an algorithm of Kaufman and Tamir gives an algorithm taking Θ(m log n) time for the general case, improving upon theirs when the graph is sparse. When the regression values...
متن کاملWeighted L∞ isotonic regression
Algorithms are given for determining weighted L∞ isotonic regressions satisfying order constraints given by a directed acyclic graph (dag) with n vertices andm edges. An algorithm is given takingΘ(m log n) time for the general case. However, it relies on parametric search, so a practical approach is introduced, based on calculating prefix solutions. While not as fast in the general case, for li...

متن کاملAdaptive Risk Bounds in Unimodal Regression
We study the statistical properties of the least squares estimator in unimodal sequence estimation. Although closely related to isotonic regression, unimodal regression has not been as extensively studied. We show that the unimodal least squares estimator is adaptive in the sense that the risk scales as a function of the number of values in the true underlying sequence. Such adaptivity properti...
