New minimax lower bound established for diffusion-based local intrinsic dimension estimation

Researchers have developed a minimax lower bound for estimating the finite-scale population functional underlying FLIPD, a diffusion-based local intrinsic dimension (LID) quantity. This quantity is defined by the logarithmic scale derivative of a Gaussian-smoothed density. The study shows that under a regular manifold model, the finite-scale field deviates from the manifold dimension by at most $O(\sigma^2)$. The established minimax lower bound is of order $(n\sigma^d)^{-1}$ for estimating this field from $n$ observations within a specific range of $\sigma$. AI

IMPACT Provides a theoretical foundation for understanding the statistical limitations of diffusion-based methods in analyzing high-dimensional data.

    Minimax Lower Bound for Estimating Diffusion-based Local Intrinsic Dimension

    arXiv:2609.04822v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While diffusion-based methods have recently emerged as effective tools for probing the intrinsic geometry of high-dimensional data, their statistical difficulty remains largely unexplored. We study estimation of the finite-scale p…
