The standard linear and logistic regression models assume that the response variables are independent, but share the same linear relationship to their corresponding vectors of covariates. The assumption that the response variables are independent is, however, too strong. In many applications, these responses are collected on nodes of a network, or some spatial or temporal domain, and are dependent. Examples abound in financial and meteorological applications, and dependencies naturally arise in social networks through peer effects. Regression with dependent responses has thus received a lot of attention in the Statistics and Economics literature, but there are no strong consistency results unless multiple independent samples of the vectors of dependent responses can be collected from these models. We present computationally and statistically efficient methods for linear and logistic regression models when the response variables are dependent on a network. Given one sample from a networked linear or logistic regression model and under mild assumptions, we prove strong consistency results for recovering the vector of coefficients and the strength of the dependencies, recovering the rates of standard regression under independent observations. We use projected gradient descent on the negative log-likelihood, or negative log-pseudolikelihood, and establish their strong convexity and consistency using concentration of measure for dependent random variables.

我们考虑线性回归的最常见变体,包括Ridge,Lasso和Support vector回归,在这种设置中,学习者在训练时只允许观察每个示例的固定数量的属性。我们提出了这些问题的简单而有效的算法:对于Lasso和Ridge回归,它们需要与全信息算法相同的属性总数(直到常数),以达到一定的精度。对于支持向量回归,与现有技术相比,我们需要指数级更少的属性。通过这一点,我们解决了Cesa-Bianchi et al.(2010)最近提出的一个开放问题。实验表明,与现有技术相比,优越的性能证明了理论界限的合理性。
