Abstract:

We develop a general theory for the goodness-of-fit test to non-linear models. In particular, we assume that the observations are noisy samples of a submanifold defined by a sufficiently smooth non-linear map. The observation noise is additive Gaussian. Our main result shows that the “residual” of the model fit, by solving a non-linear least-square problem, follows a (possibly noncentral) χ2 distribution. The parameters of the χ2 distribution are related to the model order and dimension of the problem. We further present a method to select the model orders sequentially. We demonstrate the broad application of the general theory in machine learning and signal processing, including determining the rank of low-rank (possibly complex-valued) matrices and tensors from noisy, partial, or indirect observations, determining the number of sources in signal demixing, and potential applications in determining the number of hidden nodes in neural networks.
