Abstract
Fitting a polynomial to observed data is an ubiquitous task in many signal processing and machine learning tasks, such as interpolation and prediction. In that context, input and output pairs are available and the goal is to find the coefficients of the polynomial. However, in many applications, the input may be partially known or not known at all, rendering conventional regression approaches not applicable. In this paper, we formally state the (potentially partial) blind regression problem, illustrate some of its theoretical properties, and propose an algorithmic approach to solve it. As a case-study, we apply our methods to a jitter-correction problem and corroborate its performance.
