We study a data model in which the data matrix D can be expressed as D = L + S + C, where L is a low rank matrix, S an element-wise sparse matrix and C a matrix whose non-zero columns are outlying data points. To date, robust PCA algorithms…
We consider the problem of sparse canonical correlation analysis (CCA), i.e., the search for two linear combinations, one for each multivariate, that yield maximum correlation using a specified number of variables. We propose an efficient…
We present a novel approach for recovering a sparse signal from cross-correlated data. Cross-correlations naturally arise in many fields of imaging, such as optics, holography and seismic interferometry. Compared to the sparse signal…

We consider the scenario where one observes an outcome variable and sets of features from multiple assays, all measured on the same set of samples. One approach that has been proposed for dealing with this type of data is ``sparse multiple…
Sparse regression is frequently employed in diverse scientific settings as a feature selection method. A pervasive aspect of scientific data that hampers both feature selection and estimation is the presence of strong correlations between…
The convergence rate is analyzed for the SpaSRA algorithm (Sparse Reconstruction by Separable Approximation) for minimizing a sum $f (\m{x}) + \psi (\m{x})$ where $f$ is smooth and $\psi$ is convex, but possibly nonsmooth. It is shown that…
Empirical research in economics increasingly relies on restricted-access data held by multiple firms or agencies, making it impossible to construct the estimator of interest on the pooled sample. At the same time, heavy-tailed distributions…
