We consider a linear regression problem in a high dimensional setting where the number of covariates $p$ can be much larger than the sample size $n$. In such a situation, one often assumes sparsity of the regression vector, \textit i.e.,…

Suppose that $\mathbf{y}=\lvert A\mathbf{x_0}\rvert+\eta$ where $\mathbf{x_0} \in \mathbb{R}^d$ is the target signal and $\eta\in \mathbb{R}^m$ is a noise vector. The aim of phase retrieval is to estimate $\mathbf{x_0}$ from $\mathbf{y}$. A…
