Inference for high-dimensional linear expectile regression with de-biased method

Methodology 2024-01-17 v1

Abstract

In this paper, we address the inference problem in high-dimensional linear expectile regression. We transform the expectile loss into a weighted-least-squares form and apply a de-biased strategy to establish Wald-type tests for multiple constraints within a regularized framework. Simultaneously, we construct an estimator for the pseudo-inverse of the generalized Hessian matrix in high dimension with general amenable regularizers including Lasso and SCAD, and demonstrate its consistency through a new proof technique. We conduct simulation studies and real data applications to demonstrate the efficacy of our proposed test statistic in both homoscedastic and heteroscedastic scenarios.
