We consider a high dimensional linear regression problem where the goal is to efficiently recover an unknown vector $\beta^*$ from $n$ noisy linear observations $Y=X\beta^*+W \in \mathbb{R}^n$, for known $X \in \mathbb{R}^{n \times p}$ and…

High-dimensional sparse generalized linear models (GLMs) have emerged in the setting that the number of samples and the dimension of variables are large, and even the dimension of variables grows faster than the number of samples. False…
