Communication-efficient and distributed-oracle estimation for high-dimensional quantile regression
高维分位数回归的通信高效估计与分布式预言机估计
In this article, we present a novel communication-efficient estimator for distributed high-dimensional quantile regression with folded-concave penalties. An Iterative Multi-Step Algorithm (IMSA) is employed to tackle the nonconvex challenge of the objective function, taking into account both the statistical accuracy and the communication constraints. We demonstrate that the proposed IMSA estimators share similar properties with the global folded-concave penalized estimator.…
