We build a unifying convex analysis framework characterizing the statistical properties of a large class of penalized estimators, both under a regular and an irregular design. Our framework interprets penalized estimators as proximal…

Establishing a low-dimensional representation of the data leads to efficient data learning strategies. In many cases, the reduced dimension needs to be explicitly stated and estimated from the data. We explore the estimation of dimension in…

We study a set of regularization methods for high-dimensional linear regression models. These penalized estimators have the square root of the residual sum of squared errors as loss function, and any weakly decomposable norm as penalty…

The paper focuses on the automatic selection of the grouped explanatory variables in an high-dimensional model, when the model errors are asymmetric. After introducing the model and notations, we define the adaptive group LASSO expectile…

Partial linear models have been widely used as flexible method for modelling linear components in conjunction with non-parametric ones. Despite the presence of the non-parametric part, the linear, parametric part can under certain…

Lasso-type estimators are routinely used to estimate high-dimensional time series models. The theoretical guarantees established for these estimators typically require the penalty level to be chosen in a suitable fashion often depending on…

We consider the problem of non-parametric regression with a potentially large number of covariates. We propose a convex, penalized estimation framework that is particularly well-suited for high-dimensional sparse additive models. The…

Misspecified models often provide useful information about the true data generating distribution. For example, if $y$ is a non-linear function of $x$ the least squares estimator $\hat{\beta}$ is an estimate of $\beta$, the slope of the best…

The lasso and related sparsity inducing algorithms have been the target of substantial theoretical and applied research. Correspondingly, many results are known about their behavior for a fixed or optimally chosen tuning parameter specified…

High-dimensional data analysis has motivated a spectrum of regularization methods for variable selection and sparse modeling, with two popular classes of convex ones and concave ones. A long debate has been on whether one class dominates…

When a series of (related) linear models has to be estimated it is often appropriate to combine the different data-sets to construct more efficient estimators. We use $\ell_1$-penalized estimators like the Lasso or the Adaptive Lasso which…
