Unsupervised learning of high-dimensional data is challenging due to irrelevant or noisy features obscuring underlying structures. It's common that only a few features, called the influential features, meaningfully define the clusters.…

Setting regularization parameters for Lasso-type estimators is notoriously difficult, though crucial in practice. The most popular hyperparameter optimization approach is grid-search using held-out validation data. Grid-search however…

In this paper, we address the inference problem in high-dimensional linear expectile regression. We transform the expectile loss into a weighted-least-squares form and apply a de-biased strategy to establish Wald-type tests for multiple…
