Principal component analysis continues to be a powerful tool in dimension reduction of high dimensional data. We assume a variance-diverging model and use the high-dimension, low-sample-size asymptotics to show that even though the…

Random feature ridge regression is often analyzed in the high-dimensional regime under the homogeneous sampling model $x_i=\Sigma^{1/2}x_i'$, where the vectors $x_i'$ have iid entries and the same covariance matrix $\Sigma$ is shared by all…

We consider the problem of high-dimensional classification between the two groups with unequal covariance matrices. Rather than estimating the full quadratic discriminant rule, we propose to perform simultaneous variable selection and…
