Sparse model selection by structural risk minimization leads to a set of a few predictors, ideally a subset of the true predictors. This selection clearly depends on the underlying loss function $\tilde L$. For linear regression with square…

In spite of the wealth of literature on the theoretical properties of the Lasso, there is very little known when the value of the tuning parameter is chosen using the data, even though this is what actually happens in practice. We give a…

In Compressed Sensing and high dimensional estimation, signal recovery often relies on sparsity assumptions and estimation is performed via $\ell_1$-penalized least-squares optimization, a.k.a. LASSO. The $\ell_1$ penalisation is usually…
