In stochastic optimal control the distribution of the exogenous noise is typically unknown and must be inferred from limited data before dynamic programming (DP)-based solution schemes can be applied. If the conditional expectations in the DP recursions ar ...
We present a diffusion-based bias-compensated recursive least squares (RLS) algorithm for distributed estimation in ad-hoc adaptive sensor networks where nodes cooperate to estimate a common deterministic parameter vector. It is assumed that both the regre ...
Time series modeling and analysis is central to most financial and econometric data modeling. With increased globalization in trade, commerce and finance, national variables like gross domestic productivity (GDP) and unemployment rate, market variables lik ...
In this thesis, we treat robust estimation for the parameters of the Ornstein–Uhlenbeck process, which are the mean, the variance, and the friction. We start by considering classical maximum likelihood estimation. For the simulation study, where we also in ...
Many applications require optimizing an unknown, noisy function that is expensive to evaluate. We formalize this task as a multi-armed bandit problem, where the payoff function is either sampled from a Gaussian process (GP) or has low RKHS norm. We resolve ...

In this work, we derive a near-optimal combination rule for adaptation over networks. To do so, we first establish a useful result pertaining to the steady-state distribution of the estimator of an LMS filter. Specifically, under small step-sizes and some ...
The family of natural evolution strategies (NES) offers a principled approach to real-valued evolutionary optimization by following the natural gradient of the expected fitness. Like the well-known CMA-ES, the most competitive algorithm in the field, NES c ...
We consider bearing estimation of multiple narrow-band plane waves impinging on an array of sensors. For this problem, bearing estimation algorithms such as minimum variance distortionless response (MVDR), multiple signal classification, and maximum likeli ...
In this paper, we derive elementary M- and optimally robust asymptotic linear (AL)-estimates for the parameters of an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process. Simulation and estimation of the process are already well-studied, see Iacus (Simulation and inference for sto ...
