Optimal convex M-estimation via score matching
Richard Samworth, Cambridge University
In the context of linear regression, we construct a data-driven convex loss function with respect to which empirical risk minimisation yields opti- mal asymptotic variance in the downstream estimation of the regression coefficients. Our semiparametric approach targets the best decreasing approximation of the derivative of the log-density of the …

Human-induced climate change is expected to increase the overall air temperature, as well as the intensity and frequency of extreme heat events. This will severely affect people’s health, as high ambient temperatures and heat waves have been linked to various …
