Compressed Sensing aims to capture attributes of a sparse signal using very few measurements. Cand\`{e}s and Tao showed that sparse reconstruction is possible if the sensing matrix acts as a near isometry on all $\boldsymbol{k}$-sparse…
We propose a generalized debiased Lasso estimator based on a stability principle. When a single column of the design matrix is perturbed, the estimator admits a simple update formula that can be computed from the original solution. Under…
