In many applications, such as sport tournaments or recommendation systems, we have at our disposal data consisting of pairwise comparisons between a set of $n$ items (or players). The objective is to use these data to infer the latent strength of each item and/or their ranking. Existing results for this problem predominantly focus on the setting consisting of a single comparison graph $G$. However, there exist scenarios (e.g. sports tournaments) where the pairwise comparison data evolve with time. Theoretical results for this dynamic setting are relatively limited, and are the focus of this paper. We study an extension of the translation synchronization problem, to the dynamic setting. In this set-up, we are given a sequence of comparison graphs $(G_t)_{tin{{mathscr{T}}}}$, where $ {{mathscr{T}}} subset [0,1]$ is a grid representing the time domain, and for each item $i$ and time $tin{{mathscr{T}}}$ there is an associated unknown strength parameter $z^*_{t,i}in{{mathbb{R}}}$. We aim to recover, for $tin{{mathscr{T}}}$, the strength vector $z^*_t=(z^*_{t,1},dots ,z^*_{t,n})$ from noisy measurements of $z^*_{t,i}-z^*_{t,j}$, where $left {{i,j}right }$ is an edge in $G_t$. Assuming that $z^*_t$ evolves smoothly in $t$, we propose two estimators—one based on a smoothness-penalized least squares approach and the other based on projection onto the low-frequency eigenspace of a suitable smoothness operator. For both estimators, we provide finite sample bounds for the $ell _2$ estimation error under the assumption that $G_t$ is connected for all $tin{{mathscr{T}}}$, thus proving the consistency of the proposed methods in terms of the grid size $|mathscr{T}|$. We complement our theoretical findings with experiments on synthetic and real data.

在许多应用程序中，例如体育比赛或推荐系统，我们可以处理由一组$n$项目(或玩家)之间的两两比较组成的数据。目的是使用这些数据来推断每个项目的潜在强度和/或它们的排名。该问题的现有结果主要集中在由单个比较图$G$组成的设置上。然而，在某些情况下(例如体育比赛)，两两比较数据会随着时间的推移而变化。这一动态设置的理论结果相对有限，是本文的重点。本文将翻译同步问题推广到动态环境。在这个设置中，我们得到了一系列比较图$(G_t)_{tin{{mathscr{T}}}}$，其中$ {{mathscr{T}}} subset [0,1]$是表示时域的网格，对于每个项目$i$和时间$tin{{mathscr{T}}}$，都有一个相关的未知强度参数$z^*_{t,i}in{{mathbb{R}}}$。对于$tin{{mathscr{T}}}$，我们的目标是从$z^*_{t,i}-z^*_{t,j}$的噪声测量中恢复强度向量$z^*_t=(z^*_{t,1},dots ,z^*_{t,n})$，其中$left {{i,j}right }$是$G_t$的一条边。假设$z^*_t$在$t$中平滑演化，我们提出了两个估计器——一个基于平滑惩罚最小二乘方法，另一个基于投影到合适的平滑算子的低频特征空间。对于这两个估计器，我们在假设$G_t$对所有$tin{{mathscr{T}}}$都是连通的情况下为$ell _2$估计误差提供了有限的样本边界，从而证明了所提出的方法在网格大小$|mathscr{T}|$方面的一致性。我们用合成和真实数据的实验来补充我们的理论发现。

We study super-resolution multi-reference alignment, the problem of estimating a signal from many circularly shifted, down-sampled and noisy observations. We focus on the low SNR regime, and show that a signal in $ℝ^{M}$ is uniquely determined when the number L of samples per observation is of the order of the square root of the signal's length ( $L = O (\sqrt{M})$ ). Phrased more informally, one can square the resolution. This result holds if the number of observations is proportional to 1/SNR³. In contrast, with fewer observations recovery is impossible even when the observations are not down-sampled (L = M). The analysis combines tools from statistical signal processing and invariant theory. We design an expectation-maximization algorithm and demonstrate that it can super-resolve the signal in challenging SNR regimes.

我们研究的是超分辨率多参考对齐，即从许多圆周位移、下采样和噪声观测中估计信号的问题。我们将重点放在低信噪比机制上，并证明当每个观测点的采样数目为信号长度的平方根数量级（L = O ( M )）时，ℝ M 中的信号是唯一确定的。换个非正式的说法，我们可以将分辨率平方化。如果观测数据的数量与 1/SNR3 成正比，则这一结果成立。相反，如果观测值较少，即使观测值没有降低采样（L = M），也不可能恢复。分析结合了统计信号处理和不变理论的工具。我们设计了一种期望最大化算法，并证明它能在具有挑战性的信噪比情况下超级解译信号。

Clustering bipartite graphs is a fundamental task in network analysis. In the high-dimensional regime where the number of rows $n_{1}$ and the number of columns $n_{2}$ of the associated adjacency matrix are of different order, the existing methods derived from the ones used for symmetric graphs can come with sub-optimal guarantees. Due to increasing number of applications for bipartite graphs in the high-dimensional regime, it is of fundamental importance to design optimal algorithms for this setting. The recent work of Ndaoud et al. (2022, IEEE Trans. Inf. Theory, 68, 1960–1975) improves the existing upper-bound for the misclustering rate in the special case where the columns (resp. rows) can be partitioned into $L = 2$ (resp. $K = 2$) communities. Unfortunately, their algorithm cannot be extended to the more general setting where $K neq L geq 2$. We overcome this limitation by introducing a new algorithm based on the power method. We derive conditions for exact recovery in the general setting where $K neq L geq 2$, and show that it recovers the result in Ndaoud et al. (2022, IEEE Trans. Inf. Theory, 68, 1960–1975). We also derive a minimax lower bound on the misclustering error when $K=L$ under a symmetric version of our model, which matches the corresponding upper bound up to a factor depending on $K$.

二部图聚类是网络分析中的一项基本任务。在高维状态下，相关邻接矩阵的行数$n_{1}$和列数$n_{2}$的顺序不同，从对称图中派生出来的现有方法可能会带来次优保证。由于高维区域中二部图的应用越来越多，因此设计最优算法具有重要的基础意义。Ndaoud et al. (2022, IEEE Trans.)Inf. Theory, 68, 1960-1975)在列(对应的列)的特殊情况下，改进了现有的错误聚类率上限。行)可以分区到$L = 2$(参见。$K = 2$)社区。不幸的是，他们的算法不能扩展到更一般的设置$K neq L geq 2$。我们通过引入一种基于幂方法的新算法来克服这一限制。我们推导了在$K neq L geq 2$的一般设置下精确恢复的条件，并表明它恢复了Ndaoud等人(2022,IEEE Trans.)的结果。参考理论，68,1960-1975)。在我们模型的对称版本下，我们还导出了在$K=L$时错误聚类误差的最小最大下界，它与依赖于$K$的因子的相应上界相匹配。

Classical multidimensional scaling is a widely used dimension reduction technique. Yet few theoretical results characterizing its statistical performance exist. This paper provides a theoretical framework for analyzing the quality of embedded samples produced by classical multidimensional scaling. This lays a foundation for various downstream statistical analyses, and we focus on clustering noisy data. Our results provide scaling conditions on the signal-to-noise ratio under which classical multidimensional scaling followed by a distance-based clustering algorithm can recover the cluster labels of all samples. Simulation studies confirm these scaling conditions are sharp. Applications to the cancer gene-expression data, the single-cell RNA sequencing data and the natural language data lend strong support to the methodology and theory.

经典的多维缩放是一种广泛使用的降维技术。然而，描述其统计性能的理论结果却寥寥无几。本文为分析经典多维缩放产生的嵌入样本的质量提供了一个理论框架。这为各种下游统计分析奠定了基础，我们重点关注噪声数据的聚类。我们的研究结果提供了信噪比的缩放条件，在这些条件下，经典多维缩放和基于距离的聚类算法可以恢复所有样本的聚类标签。仿真研究证实这些缩放条件非常精确。癌症基因表达数据、单细胞 RNA 测序数据和自然语言数据的应用为该方法和理论提供了有力支持。

This paper studies the 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 the 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.

本文研究了子空间约束均值移动（SCMS）算法的线性收敛性，这是一种著名的算法，用于识别由核密度估计器定义的密度脊。通过论证 SCMS 算法是具有自适应步长的子空间约束梯度上升（SCGA）算法的特殊变体，我们推导出了这种 SCGA 算法的线性收敛性。现有研究主要关注欧几里得空间中的密度脊，而我们将密度脊和 SCMS 算法推广到了方向性数据。特别是，我们建立了具有方向性数据的密度脊稳定性定理，并证明了我们提出的方向性 SCMS 算法的线性收敛性。

Zero-truncated Poisson regression for sparse multiway count data corrupted by false zeros 被假零损坏的稀疏多路计数数据的零截断泊松回归

We propose a novel statistical inference methodology for multiway count data that is corrupted by false zeros that are indistinguishable from true zero counts. Our approach consists of zero-truncating the Poisson distribution to neglect all zero values. This simple truncated approach dispenses with the need to distinguish between true and false zero counts and reduces the amount of data to be processed. Inference is accomplished via tensor completion that imposes low-rank tensor structure on the Poisson parameter space. Our main result shows that an $N$-way rank-$R$ parametric tensor $boldsymbol{mathscr{M}}in (0,infty )^{Itimes cdots times I}$ generating Poisson observations can be accurately estimated by zero-truncated Poisson regression from approximately $IR^2log _2^2(I)$ non-zero counts under the nonnegative canonical polyadic decomposition. Our result also quantifies the error made by zero-truncating the Poisson distribution when the parameter is uniformly bounded from below. Therefore, under a low-rank multiparameter model, we propose an implementable approach guaranteed to achieve accurate regression in under-determined scenarios with substantial corruption by false zeros. Several numerical experiments are presented to explore the theoretical results.

我们提出了一种新的统计推断方法，用于多路计数数据，这些数据被假零损坏，与真零计数无法区分。我们的方法包括对泊松分布进行零截断以忽略所有零值。这种简单的截断方法不需要区分真零计数和假零计数，并减少了要处理的数据量。推理是通过张量补全来完成的，它在泊松参数空间上施加了低秩张量结构。我们的主要结果表明 $N$-路阶-$R$ 参数张量 $boldsymbol{mathscr{M}}in (0,infty )^{Itimes cdots times I}$ 通过零截断泊松回归可以精确地估计泊松观测值的产生 $IR^2log _2^2(I)$ 非负正则多进分解下的非零计数。我们的结果还量化了当参数从下面均匀有界时，对泊松分布进行零截断所产生的误差。因此，在低秩多参数模型下，我们提出了一种可实现的方法，保证在假零严重破坏的欠确定场景下实现准确的回归。通过几个数值实验来验证理论结果。
