We investigate how empirical estimates of these operators converge along realizations of the process under various conditions. In particular, we examine ergodic and strongly mixing processes and obtain several asymptotic results as well as finite sample error bounds. We provide applications of our theory in terms of consistency results for kernel PCA with dependent data and the conditional mean embedding of transition probabilities. Finally, we use our approach to examine the nonparametric estimation of Markov transition operators and highlight how our theory can give a consistency analysis for a large family of spectral analysis methods including kernel-based dynamic mode decomposition.}, language = {en} } @article{BittracherKoltaiKlusetal., author = {Bittracher, Andreas and Koltai, P{\´e}ter and Klus, Stefan and Banisch, Ralf and Dellnitz, Michael and Sch{\"u}tte, Christof}, title = {Transition manifolds of complex metastable systems: Theory and data-driven computation of effective dynamics}, series = {Jounal of Nonlinear Science}, volume = {28}, journal = {Jounal of Nonlinear Science}, number = {2}, doi = {10.1007/s00332-017-9415-0}, pages = {471 -- 512}, abstract = {We consider complex dynamical systems showing metastable behavior but no local separation of fast and slow time scales. The article raises the question of whether such systems exhibit a low-dimensional manifold supporting its effective dynamics. For answering this question, we aim at finding nonlinear coordinates, called reaction coordinates, such that the projection of the dynamics onto these coordinates preserves the dominant time scales of the dynamics. We show that, based on a specific reducibility property, the existence of good low-dimensional reaction coordinates preserving the dominant time scales is guaranteed. Based on this theoretical framework, we develop and test a novel numerical approach for computing good reaction coordinates. The proposed algorithmic approach is fully local and thus not prone to the curse of dimension with respect to the state space of the dynamics.
