We study the high-dimensional linear model with noise distribution known up to a scale parameter. With an $\ell_1$-penalty on the regression coefficients, we show that a transformation of the log-likelihood allows for a choice of the tuning…

The LASSO is a variable subset selection procedure in statistical linear regression based on $\ell_1$ penalization of the least-squares operator. Uniqueness of the LASSO is an important issue, especially for the study of the LASSO path. The…
