Abstract
We consider hypotheses testing problems for three parameters in high-dimensional linear models with minimal sparsity assumptions of their type but without any compatibility conditions. Under this framework, we construct the first n-consistent estimators for low-dimensional coefficients, the signal strength, and the noise level. We support our results using numerical simulations and provide comparisons with other estimators.
期刊介绍:
BERNOULLI is the journal of the Bernoulli Society for Mathematical Statistics and Probability, issued four times per year. The journal provides a comprehensive account of important developments in the fields of statistics and probability, offering an international forum for both theoretical and applied work.
BERNOULLI will publish:
Papers containing original and significant research contributions: with background, mathematical derivation and discussion of the results in suitable detail and, where appropriate, with discussion of interesting applications in relation to the methodology proposed.
Papers of the following two types will also be considered for publication, provided they are judged to enhance the dissemination of research:
Review papers which provide an integrated critical survey of some area of probability and statistics and discuss important recent developments.
Scholarly written papers on some historical significant aspect of statistics and probability.
