In high-dimensional data analysis, bi-level sparsity is often assumed when covariates function group-wisely and sparsity can appear either at the group level or within certain groups. In such cases, an ideal model should be able to…
In this manuscript, a new high-dimensional approach for simultaneous variable and group selection is proposed, called sparse-group SLOPE (SGS). SGS achieves false discovery rate control at both variable and group levels by incorporating the…

The pattern of zero entries in the inverse covariance matrix of a multivariate normal distribution corresponds to conditional independence restrictions between variables. Covariance selection aims at estimating those structural zeros from…
