Abstract

We consider the problem of estimating the parameters of a vector autoregressive (VAR) process from low-dimensional random projections of the observations. This setting covers the cases where we take compressive measurements of the observations or have limits in the data acquisition process associated with the measurement system and are only able to subsample. We first present fundamental bounds on the convergence of any estimator for the covariance or state-transition matrices with and without considering structural constraints of sparsity and low-rankness. We then construct an estimator for these matrices or the parameters of the VAR process and show that it is order optimal.
