Recovery of the sparsity pattern (or support) of an unknown sparse vector from a small number of noisy linear measurements is an important problem in compressed sensing. In this paper, the high-dimensional setting is considered. It is shown…

Sparse linear regression is one of the most basic questions in machine learning and statistics. Here, we are given as input a design matrix $X \in \mathbb{R}^{N \times d}$ and measurements or labels ${y} \in \mathbb{R}^N$ where ${y} = {X}…

Mixture models are widely used to fit complex and multimodal datasets. In this paper we study mixtures with high dimensional sparse latent parameter vectors and consider the problem of support recovery of those vectors. While parameter…

We consider an uncertain linear inverse problem as follows. Given observation $\omega=Ax_*+\zeta$ where $A\in {\bf R}^{m\times p}$ and $\zeta\in {\bf R}^{m}$ is observation noise, we want to recover unknown signal $x_*$, known to belong to…

In many important statistical applications, the number of variables or parameters $p$ is much larger than the number of observations $n$. Suppose then that we have observations $y=X\beta+z$, where $\beta\in\mathbf{R}^p$ is a parameter…

This paper examines a general class of noisy matrix completion tasks where the goal is to estimate a matrix from observations obtained at a subset of its entries, each of which is subject to random noise or corruption. Our specific focus is…

We consider the following basic inference problem: there is an unknown high-dimensional vector $w \in \mathbb{R}^n$, and an algorithm is given access to labeled pairs $(x,y)$ where $x \in \mathbb{R}^n$ is a measurement and $y = w \cdot x +…

We consider a sparse high dimensional regression model where the goal is to recover a $k$-sparse unknown vector $\beta^*$ from $n$ noisy linear observations of the form $Y=X\beta^*+W \in \mathbb{R}^n$ where $X \in \mathbb{R}^{n \times p}$…

We consider the fundamental problem of estimating the mean of a vector $y=X\beta+z$, where $X$ is an $n\times p$ design matrix in which one can have far more variables than observations, and $z$ is a stochastic error term--the so-called…

Consider a Bernoulli-Gaussian complex $n$-vector whose components are $V_i = X_i B_i$, with $X_i \sim \Cc\Nc(0,\Pc_x)$ and binary $B_i$ mutually independent and iid across $i$. This random $q$-sparse vector is multiplied by a square random…

For consistency (even oracle properties) of estimation and model prediction, almost all existing methods of variable/feature selection critically depend on sparsity of models. However, for ``large $p$ and small $n$" models sparsity…
