In partially linear models the dependence of the response y on (x^T,t) is modeled through the relationship y=\x^T \beta+g(t)+\epsilon where \epsilon is independent of (x^T,t). In this paper, estimators of \beta and g are constructed when…

High-dimensional statistical inference deals with models in which the the number of parameters p is comparable to or larger than the sample size n. Since it is usually impossible to obtain consistent procedures unless $p/n\rightarrow0$, a…
