We study estimators with generalized lasso penalties within the computational sufficiency framework introduced by Vu (2018, arXiv:1807.05985). By representing these penalties as support functions of zonotopes and more generally Minkowski…

The Lasso is biased. Concave penalized least squares estimation (PLSE) takes advantage of signal strength to reduce this bias, leading to sharper error bounds in prediction, coefficient estimation and variable selection. For prediction and…
