In high-dimensional regression, we attempt to estimate a parameter vector $\beta_0\in\mathbb{R}^p$ from $n\lesssim p$ observations $\{(y_i,x_i)\}_{i\leq n}$ where $x_i\in\mathbb{R}^p$ is a vector of predictors and $y_i$ is a response…
Given a $K$-vertex simplex in a $d$-dimensional space, suppose we measure $n$ points on the simplex with noise (hence, some of the observed points fall outside the simplex). Vertex hunting is the problem of estimating the $K$ vertices of…
