The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (Lasso) is a popular method for high-dimensional statistics. However, it is known that the Lasso often has estimation bias and prediction error. To address such disadvantages, many…
Spatial econometric research typically relies on the assumption that the spatial dependence structure is known in advance and is represented by a deterministic spatial weights matrix. Contrary to classical approaches, we investigate the…
Convex estimators such as the Lasso, the matrix Lasso and the group Lasso have been studied extensively in the last two decades, demonstrating great success in both theory and practice. Two quantities are introduced, the noise barrier and…
