We propose a new method for estimating the intrinsic dimension of a dataset by applying the principle of regularized maximum likelihood to the distances between close neighbors. We propose a regularization scheme which is motivated by divergence minimization principles. We derive the estimator by a Poisson process appr…
We consider non-parametric estimation and inference of conditional moment models in high dimensions. We show that even when the dimension D of the conditioning variable is larger than the sample size n, estimation and inference is feasible as long as the distribution of the conditioning variable has small intrinsic…
Modern large-scale datasets are frequently said to be high-dimensional. However, their data point clouds frequently possess structures, significantly decreasing their intrinsic dimensionality (ID) due to the presence of clusters, points being located close to low-dimensional varieties or fine-grained lumping. We test a…
The existing approaches to intrinsic dimension estimation usually are not reliable when the data are nonlinearly embedded in the high dimensional space. In this work, we show that the explicit accounting to geometric properties of unknown support leads to the polynomial correction to the standard maximum likelihood est…
Information about intrinsic dimension is crucial to perform dimensionality reduction, compress information, design efficient algorithms, and do statistical adaptation. In this paper we propose an estimator for the intrinsic dimension of a data set. The estimator is based on binary neighbourhood information about the ob…
Dimension Estimation (DE) and Dimension Reduction (DR) are two closely related topics, but with quite different goals. In DE, one attempts to estimate the intrinsic dimensionality or number of latent variables in a set of measurements of a random vector. However, in DR, one attempts to project a random vector, either l…

In this study, we prove that an intrinsic low dimensionality of covariates is the main factor that determines the performance of deep neural networks (DNNs). DNNs generally provide outstanding empirical performance. Hence, numerous studies have actively investigated the theoretical properties of DNNs to understand thei…
This paper deals with a new filter algorithm for selecting the smallest subset of features carrying all the information content of a data set (i.e. for removing redundant features). It is an advanced version of the fractal dimension reduction technique, and it relies on the recently introduced Morisita estimator of Int…
Many nonparametric regressors were recently shown to converge at rates that depend only on the intrinsic dimension of data. These regressors thus escape the curse of dimension when high-dimensional data has low intrinsic dimension (e.g. a manifold). We show that k-NN regression is also adaptive to intrinsic dimension. …
For data living in a manifold M⊆Rm and a point p∈M we consider a statistic Uk,n which estimates the variance of the angle between pairs of vectors Xi−p and Xj−p, for data points Xi, Xj, near p, and evaluate this statistic as a tool for estimation of the intrinsic dimension o…
