We consider the problem of clustering data points in high dimensions, i.e. when the number of data points may be much smaller than the number of dimensions. Specifically, we consider a Gaussian mixture model (GMM) with non-spherical…

Under normality and homoscedasticity assumptions, Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) is known to be optimal in terms of minimising the Bayes error for binary classification. In the heteroscedastic case, LDA is not guaranteed to minimise…
We propose two semiparametric versions of the debiased Lasso procedure for the model $Y_i = X_i\beta_0 + g_0(Z_i) + \epsilon_i$, where $\beta_0$ is high dimensional but sparse (exactly or approximately). Both versions are shown to have the…
In high-dimensional settings, sparse structures are critical for efficiency in term of memory and computation complexity. For a linear system, to find the sparsest solution provided with an over-complete dictionary of features directly is…
