Missing values in datasets are common in applied statistics. For regression problems, theoretical work thus far has largely considered the issue of missing covariates as distinct from missing responses. However, in practice, many datasets…

Given data $y$ and $k$ covariates $x$ one problem in linear regression is to decide which in any of the covariates to include when regressing $y$ on the $x$. If $k$ is small it is possible to evaluate each subset of the $x$. If however $k$…

Consider a linear model $Y=X\beta+z$, $z\sim N(0,I_n)$. Here, $X=X_{n,p}$, where both $p$ and $n$ are large, but $p>n$. We model the rows of $X$ as i.i.d. samples from $N(0,\frac{1}{n}\Omega)$, where $\Omega$ is a $p\times p$ correlation…
