2d interpolation minimizing the integral of the norm of the Hessian
It is well known that cubic interpolation is the solution of the interpolation problem that minimizes the integral of the square of the second derivative:
$$ min_{f \text{ s.t. } f(x_i)=y_i} \int (f''(...

Linear operator over a simplex space in a multinomial distribution parameter estimation problem
This is actually a variant of a well-known problem of how the parameters of a multinomial distribution can be estimated by maximum likelihood, and this arises from a final year project I undertook ...

Orthogonal decomposition of conditional expectations
Suppose I have a random variable $x$ and a set of conditional distributions on $x$. Here is an example where the conditionals are nested:
$$q_1 := E(x|y_1), \quad q_2 := E(x|y_1,y_2),\quad q_3 := E(x|...

In what sense is the Bayesian posterior mean a “convex combination”?
I asked this on math.stackexchange with no response, I'm hoping someone here might have something.
Suppose I want to estimate $x \in \mathbb{R}^n$ from two signals with zero mean, normally ...
