We consider a high-dimensional regression model with a possible change-point due to a covariate threshold and develop the Lasso estimator of regression coefficients as well as the threshold parameter. Our Lasso estimator not only selects…

Recent research has focused on $\ell_1$ penalized least squares (Lasso) estimators for high-dimensional linear regressions in which the number of covariates $p$ is considerably larger than the sample size $n$. However, few studies have…

Given $n$ noisy samples with $p$ dimensions, where $n \ll p$, we show that the multi-step thresholding procedure based on the Lasso -- we call it the {\it Thresholded Lasso}, can accurately estimate a sparse vector $\beta \in \R^p$ in a…

This paper is concerned with inference about low-dimensional components of a high-dimensional parameter vector $\beta^0$ which is identified through instrumental variables. We allow for eigenvalues of the expected outer product of included…

High-dimensional statistical settings ($p \gg n$) pose fundamental challenges for classical inference, largely due to bias introduced by regularized estimators such as the LASSO. To address this, Javanmard and Montanari (2014) propose a…

In high-dimensional sparse regression, the \textsc{Lasso} estimator offers excellent theoretical guarantees but is well-known to produce biased estimates. To address this, \cite{Javanmard2014} introduced a method to ``debias" the…

We present upper and lower bounds for the prediction error of the Lasso. For the case of random Gaussian design, we show that under mild conditions the prediction error of the Lasso is up to smaller order terms dominated by the prediction…

We study sparse group Lasso for high-dimensional double sparse linear regression, where the parameter of interest is simultaneously element-wise and group-wise sparse. This problem is an important instance of the simultaneously structured…

The choice of the tuning parameter in the Lasso is central to its statistical performance in high-dimensional linear regression. In this work, we study tuning regimes under which the Lasso exhibits suboptimal prediction performance, in the…

We consider the sparse linear regression model $\mathbf{y} = X \beta +\mathbf{w}$, where $X \in \mathbb{R}^{n \times d}$ is the design, $\beta \in \mathbb{R}^{d}$ is a $k$-sparse secret, and $\mathbf{w} \sim N(0, I_n)$ is the noise. Given…
