The Group Square-Root Lasso: Theoretical Properties and Fast Algorithms

Florentina Bunea, Johannes Lederer, Yiyuan She

摘要:

介绍并研究了具有群结构的高维稀疏回归模型的群平方根Lasso(GSRL)估计方法。新的估计量最小化的平方根的残差平方和加上惩罚项成比例的回归参数向量的欧几里德范数组的总和。与现有的组套索(GL)型程序相比,该方法的净优势在于惩罚项中使用的比例因子的形式,对于GSRL,该比例因子与误差项的方差无关。当估计噪声的方差变得和原来的问题一样困难时,这在参数多于样本量的模型中是至关重要的。我们证明了GSRL估计适应于回归向量的未知稀疏性,并且在模型上相同的极小条件下,具有与GL估计相同的最优估计和预测精度。这扩展了最近建立的平方根套索,稀疏回归没有组结构的结果。此外,作为一种新的类型的结果平方根Lasso方法,有或没有组,我们研究正确的模式恢复,并表明它可以实现类似的条件下所需要的Lasso或Group-Lasso型方法,但与一个简化的调整策略。我们通过一个新的算法实现我们的方法,证明了收敛性,这与现有的方法不同,尺度以及问题的维度。我们的模拟研究有力地支持了我们的理论研究结果。

英文摘要:

We introduce and study the Group Square-Root Lasso (GSRL) method for estimation in high dimensional sparse regression models with group structure. The new estimator minimizes the square root of the residual sum of squares plus a penalty term proportional to the sum of the Euclidean norms of groups of the regression parameter vector. The net advantage of the method over the existing Group Lasso (GL)-type procedures consists in the form of the proportionality factor used in the penalty term, which for GSRL is independent of the variance of the error terms. This is of crucial importance in models with more parameters than the sample size, when estimating the variance of the noise becomes as difficult as the original problem. We show that the GSRL estimator adapts to the unknown sparsity of the regression vector, and has the same optimal estimation and prediction accuracy as the GL estimators, under the same minimal conditions on the model. This extends the results recently established for the Square-Root Lasso, for sparse regression without group structure. Moreover, as a new type of result for Square-Root Lasso methods, with or without groups, we study correct pattern recovery, and show that it can be achieved under conditions similar to those needed by the Lasso or Group-Lasso-type methods, but with a simplified tuning strategy. We implement our method via a new algorithm, with proved convergence properties, which, unlike existing methods, scales well with the dimension of the problem. Our simulation studies support strongly our theoretical findings.
