We consider the framework of penalized estimation where the penalty term is given by a real-valued polyhedral gauge, which encompasses methods such as LASSO, generalized LASSO, SLOPE, OSCAR, PACS and others. Each of these estimators is…

In this paper, we study the sharp oracle bounds for Slope and Lasso and generalize the results in Bellec et al. (2018) to allow the case that the parameter vector is not exactly sparse and obtain the optimal bounds for $\ell_q$ estimation…

Measuring the error by an l^1-norm, we analyze under sparsity assumptions an l^0-regularization approach, where the penalty in the Tikhonov functional is complemented by a general stabilizing convex functional. In this context, ill-posed…

Modern statistical learning algorithms are capable of amazing flexibility, but struggle with interpretability. One possible solution is sparsity: making inference such that many of the parameters are estimated as being identically 0, which…

Sparsity and rank functions are important ways of regularizing under-determined linear systems. Optimization of the resulting formulations is made difficult since both these penalties are non-convex and discontinuous. The most common remedy…
