Oracle inequalities and optimal inference under group sparsity
组稀疏性下的预言不等式与最优统计推断
We consider the problem of estimating a sparse linear regression vector β* under a Gaussian noise model, for the purpose of both prediction and model selection. We assume that prior knowledge is available on the sparsity pattern, namely the set of variables is partitioned into prescribed groups, only few of which are relevant in the estimation process. This group sparsity assumption suggests us to consider the Group Lasso method as a means to estimate β*. We establish oracle…
