Recovery of the sparsity pattern (or support) of an unknown sparse vector from a limited number of noisy linear measurements is an important problem in compressed sensing. In the high-dimensional setting, it is known that recovery with a…
In genetic association studies, a single marker is often associated with multiple, correlated phenotypes (e.g., obesity and cardiovascular disease, or nicotine dependence and lung cancer). A pervasive question is then whether that marker…
Least squares fitting is in general not useful for high-dimensional linear models, in which the number of predictors is of the same or even larger order of magnitude than the number of samples. Theory developed in recent years has coined a…

We study the problem of exact support recovery for high-dimensional sparse linear regression under independent Gaussian design when the signals are weak, rare, and possibly heterogeneous. Under a suitable scaling of the sample size and…
Leading methods for support recovery in high-dimensional regression, such as Lasso, have been well-studied and their limitations in the context of correlated design have been characterized with precise incoherence conditions. In this work,…
Many complex disease syndromes such as asthma consist of a large number of highly related, rather than independent, clinical phenotypes, raising a new technical challenge in identifying genetic variations associated simultaneously with…
