We focus on the high-dimensional linear regression problem, where the algorithmic goal is to efficiently infer an unknown feature vector $\beta^*\in\mathbb{R}^p$ from its linear measurements, using a small number $n$ of samples. Unlike most…

Sparse linear regression is a central problem in high-dimensional statistics. We study the correlated random design setting, where the covariates are drawn from a multivariate Gaussian $N(0,\Sigma)$, and we seek an estimator with small…

Feature selection problems have been extensively studied for linear estimation, for instance, Lasso, but less emphasis has been placed on feature selection for non-linear functions. In this study, we propose a method for feature selection…

The goal of this paper is to contrast and survey the major advances in two of the most commonly used high-dimensional techniques, namely, the Lasso and horseshoe regularization. Lasso is a gold standard for predictor selection while…

We consider the model {eqnarray*}y=X\theta^*+\xi, Z=X+\Xi,{eqnarray*} where the random vector $y\in\mathbb{R}^n$ and the random $n\times p$ matrix $Z$ are observed, the $n\times p$ matrix $X$ is unknown, $\Xi$ is an $n\times p$ random noise…

The $\ell_1$-penalized method, or the Lasso, has emerged as an important tool for the analysis of large data sets. Many important results have been obtained for the Lasso in linear regression which have led to a deeper understanding of…

We consider a sparse high dimensional regression model where the goal is to recover a $k$-sparse unknown vector $\beta^*$ from $n$ noisy linear observations of the form $Y=X\beta^*+W \in \mathbb{R}^n$ where $X \in \mathbb{R}^{n \times p}$…
