Stochastic Taylor expansion via Poisson point processes (2508.04703v1)

Abstract: We generalize Taylor's theorem by introducing a stochastic formulation based on an underlying Poisson point process model. We utilize this approach to propose a novel non-linear regression framework and perform statistical inference of the model parameters. Theoretical properties of the proposed estimator are also proven, including its convergence, uniformly almost surely, to the true function. The theory is presented for the univariate and multivariate cases, and we exemplify the proposed methodology using several examples via simulations and an application to stock market data.
