High-Dimensional Tail Index Regression
高维尾指数回归
Motivated by the empirical observation of power-law distributions in the credits (e.g., ``likes'') of viral posts in social media, we introduce a high-dimensional tail index regression model and propose methods for estimation and inference of its parameters. First, we propose a regularized estimator, establish its consistency, and derive its convergence rate. Second, we debias the regularized estimator to facilitate inference and prove its asymptotic normality. Simulation…
