Fast global convergence of gradient methods for high-dimensional statistical recovery
高维统计恢复中梯度方法的快速全局收敛
Many statistical $M$-estimators are based on convex optimization problems formed by the combination of a data-dependent loss function with a norm-based regularizer. We analyze the convergence rates of projected gradient and composite gradient methods for solving such problems, working within a high-dimensional framework that allows the ambient dimension $d$ to grow with (and possibly exceed) the sample size $n$. Our theory identifies conditions under which projected gradient…
