Efron-Stein Inequalities for Random Matrices

TL;DR: In this paper, the generalized Efron-Stein inequalities for random matrices constructed from independent random variables were established, based on the method of exchangeable pairs, and the proofs rely on the assumption that the matrices can be constructed from random variables.
Journal ArticleDOI

A comparison principle for functions of a uniformly random subspace

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that it is possible to bound the expectation of a random matrix drawn from the Stiefel manifold in terms of the expected norm of a standard Gaussian matrix with the same dimensions.

Deriving Matrix Concentration Inequalities from Kernel Couplings

TL;DR: This paper derives exponential tail bounds and polynomial moment inequalities for the spectral norm deviation of a random matrix from its mean value using a matrix extension of Stein's method of exchangeable pairs for concentration of measure.
Proceedings Article

Time--Data Tradeoffs by Aggressive Smoothing

TL;DR: This work provides theoretical and experimental evidence of a tradeoff between sample complexity and computation time that applies to statistical estimators based on convex optimization for a class of regularized linear inverse problems.

The Masked Sample Covariance Estimator: An Analysis via the Matrix Laplace Transform

TL;DR: In this article, a new analysis of the masked sample covariance estimator based on the matrix Laplace transform method is presented, which is applied to general subgaussian distributions.
