| contents | It is a challenge to manage infinite- or high-dimensional data in situations where storage, transmission, or computation resources are constrained. In the simplest scenario when the data consists of a noisy infinite-dimensional signal, we introduce the notion of local \emph{effective dimension} (i.e., pertinent to the underlying signal), formulate and study the problem of its recovery on the basis of noisy data. This problem can be associated to the problems of adaptive quantization, (lossy) data compression, oracle signal estimation. We apply a Bayesian approach and study frequentists properties of the resulting posterior, a purely frequentist version of the results is also proposed. We derive certain upper and lower bounds results about identifying the local effective dimension which show that only the so called \emph{one-sided inference} on the local effective dimension can be ensured whereas the \emph{two-sided inference}, on the other hand, is in general impossible. We establish the \emph{minimal} conditions under which two-sided inference can be made. Finally, connection to the problem of smoothness estimation for some traditional smoothness scales (Sobolev scales) is considered. |
