Diaconis-Ylvisaker prior penalized likelihood for $p/n \to κ\in (0,1)$ logistic regression
We characterise the behavior of the maximum Diaconis--Ylvisaker prior penalized likelihood estimator in high-dimensional logistic regression, where the number of covariates is a fraction $κ\in (0,1)$ of the number of observations $n$, as $n \to \infty$. We construct a rescaled estimator with zero asymptotic aggregate bias and define adjusted $Z$-statistics and rescaled penalized likelihood ratio statistics that exhibit the typical null asymptotic distributions, when the…
