• Abstract: This paper establishes statistical properties of deep neural network (DNN) estimators under dependent data. Two general results for nonparametric sieve estimators directly applicable to DNN estimators are given. The first establishes rates for convergence in probability under nonstationary data. The second provides non-asymptotic probability bounds on $\mathcal{L}^{2}$-errors under stationary $\beta$-mixing data. I apply these results to DNN estimators in both regression and classification contexts imposing only a standard H\"older smoothness assumption. The DNN architectures considered are common in applications, featuring fully connected feedforward networks with any continuous piecewise linear activation function, unbounded weights, and a width and depth that grows with sample size. The framework provided also offers potential for research into other DNN architectures and time-series applications.

  Unrolled deep neural networks (DNNs) provide better interpretability and superior empirical performance than standard DNNs. We develop novel generalization error bounds for a class of unrolled DNNs informed by a compound Gaussian prior. Under realistic conditions, we show that, at worst, the generalization error scales $mathcalO(nsqrt(n))$ in the signal dimension and $mathcalO(($Network Size$)3/2)$ in network size.

  Multiplicative normalizing flows (MNFs) are a family of approximate posteriors for the parameters of BNNs. We have compared MNFs with respect to the standard BNNs, and the flipout estimator. MNFs provide more realistic predictive distribution closer to the true posterior mitigating the bias introduced by the variational approximation.

  We propose to use the mixed models framework to handle correlated data in deep neural networks. By treating the effects underlying the correlation structure as random effects, mixed models are able to avoid overfitted parameter estimates. Our approach which we call LMMNN is demonstrated to improve performance over natural competitors in various correlation scenarios.

  Rank-R Feedforward Neural Network (FNN) is a tensor-based nonlinear learning model that imposes Canonical/Polyadic decomposition on its parameters. First, it handles inputs as multilinear arrays, bypassing the need for vectorization, and can thus fully exploit the structural information along every data dimension. We establish the universal approximation and learnability properties of Rank-R FNN, and we validate its performance on real-world hyperspectral datasets.
