We study the effect of norm based regularization on the size of coresets for regression problems. Specifically, given a matrix $ \mathbf{A} \in {\mathbb{R}}^{n \times d}$ with $n\gg d$ and a vector $\mathbf{b} \in \mathbb{R} ^ n $ and…

This paper studies schemes to de-bias the Lasso in a linear model $y=X\beta+\epsilon$ where the goal is to construct confidence intervals for $a_0^T\beta$ in a direction $a_0$, where $X$ has iid $N(0,\Sigma)$ rows. We show that previously…
