Reduced rank regression for neural communication: a tutorial for neuroscientists
Reduced rank regression (RRR) is a statistical method for finding a low-dimensional linear mapping between a set of high-dimensional inputs and outputs. In recent years, RRR has found numerous applica...

Diffusion modeling folks: many sources (including Wikipedia) cite Robbins 1956 as the original source for Tweedie's formula (E[z | x] = x + sig^2 \grad log p(x)). But as far as I can tell — the formula appears nowhere in that paper. Did I miss it? Can anyone explain what's going on here?

We are writing a tutorial paper on reduced rank regression (RRR), aimed primarily at neuroscientists. Q: Does anyone have suggestions for where to publish such a paper?

(recycled form X @ 2021) Are you interested in the dimensionality of neural data, but missed our
#BernsteinConference
workshop? Worry not! Instead, join me in this long thread (1/37) attempting to summarise it and (my view of) the field more broadly.
