HOMER提升高维数据鲁棒性,兼顾效率与稳定性。
HOMER: Huber-of-Means for Efficient and Robust Estimation in Hilbert Spaces
- 用径向Huber函数融合分块均值,平衡稳健性与效率
- 在有限二阶矩下实现参数化估计速率,重尾数据仍稳定
- 适合处理含异常值的高维或函数型数据,如生物统计
重尾分布会削弱经验均值的高置信度控制。几何中位数-of-均值(MOM)也缺乏向均值效率收敛的阈值。本文提出HOMER(Huber-of-Means for Efficient and Robust Estimation),通过径向Huber中心聚合分块均值。其标准与伪-Huber形式分别对每块得分进行有界处理,并在中位数式稳健性与经验均值间插值。我们建立了希尔伯特空间中的多数定理和MOM阶偏差界,在有限二阶矩条件下成立。标准HOMER在其二次区域内恢复样本均值;伪HOMER随阈值增大趋近样本均值。它还支持围绕总体分块Huber目标的渐近线性与一致协方差估计。在有限三阶矩下,固定维投影可实现常规参数化率的均值推断。该结果要求块数与块大小增长,且块大小增速更快。重尾模拟显示,当少数块汇总值被扰动时,HOMER保持稳定。在干净高斯数据上,两种版本均接近经验均值效率。有限块数下的沙包区间覆盖不足,尤其在偏态函数数据中。进一步研究显示,当污染影响多数块或破坏块内均值时,方法失效。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Heavy tails weaken high-confidence control for the empirical mean. Geometric median-of-means (MOM) also lacks a threshold that moves toward mean efficiency. We propose \emph{HOMER}, or Huber-of-Means for Efficient and Robust Estimation. HOMER aggregates block means through a radial Huber center. Its canonical and pseudo-Huber forms bound each block score and interpolate between median-like robustness and the empirical mean. We establish a Hilbert-space majority theorem and a MOM-order deviation bound under a finite second moment. Canonical HOMER recovers the sample mean inside its quadratic region. Pseudo-HOMER approaches the sample mean as the threshold grows. It also admits asymptotic linearity and consistent sandwich covariance estimation around the population block-Huber target. Under a finite third moment, fixed finite-dimensional projections support mean inference at the usual parametric rate. This result requires growing block sizes and counts, with block sizes increasing faster. Heavy-tailed simulations show that HOMER remains stable when a minority of block summaries is displaced. On clean Gaussian data, both versions closely approach the empirical mean's efficiency. Finite-block sandwich intervals undercovered, especially for skewed functional data. Further studies show failure when contamination affects most blocks or compromises ordinary within-block means.
