New statistical theory quantifies signature learning rates for path regression

This paper introduces a statistical theory for signature-based path regression, focusing on how quickly finite-level signatures can approximate path-valued data. Researchers established an L^2 approximation rate for smooth functionals of Itô diffusions, demonstrating its minimax optimality. The study also analyzed the consistency of three statistical learning procedures—Signature-OLS, Signature-LASSO, and Signature-Logistic—by propagating truncation errors. Applications in finance, energy, and medicine showed that signatures effectively represent path-valued covariates and can enhance prediction accuracy compared to traditional features. AI
