Regularization of Statistical Inverse Problems on Non-Reflexive Banach Spaces
Darrel K Joseph, M P Rajan
Abstract
Inverse learning within a statistical framework has a wide range of applications. It has garnered significant attention in machine learning, artificial intelligence, and related fields, where the goal is to infer unknown parameters from indirect and noisy observations. This work investigates the stable approximation of $u^{\dagger}$ which solves the equation $Au=g$, with $A$ being a linear operator between appropriate vector spaces. We will consider the domain to be a non-reflexive Banach Space and the co-domain to be a space of real-valued functions on a metric space $X$. The function $g$ is characterized by a finite number of independently and identically distributed data points, which are assumed to follow some unknown probability measure $ρ$. We employ Tikhonov regularization with an arbitrary convex functional to obtain the regularized solution corresponding to the given data point. The convergence analysis is carried out with respect to the Bregman distance, and an upper bound for the error is derived in probability terms. The theoretical findings are then supported by numerical experiments.
