Precise Asymptotics for Dense High-Dimensional Huber Regression under Heteroscedasticity
异方差下稠密高维 Huber 回归的精确渐近理论
We study Huber regression in a heteroscedastic linear model in the proportional regime $n/p \to δ\in (1, \infty)$. Our main result is an exact characterization of the asymptotic empirical distribution of the Huber estimator. This characterization is in terms of three scalar parameters which determine the first-order centre and the asymptotic variance of the Huber estimator. The result shows that with heteroscedastic noise, the first-order centre may contain an additional…
