result The estimated fixed effects coefficient converges at the parametric rate and is semiparametrically efficient.
We study the computational complexity of Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods for high-dimensional Bayesian linear regression under sparsity constraints. We first show that a Bayesian approach can achieve variable-selection consistency under relatively mild conditions on the design matrix. We then demonstrate that t…
Linear mixed models (LMMs) are used extensively to model dependecies of observations in linear regression and are used extensively in many application areas. Parameter estimation for LMMs can be computationally prohibitive on big data. State-of-the-art learning algorithms require computational complexity which depends …
Linear Mixed Models (LMMs) are important tools in statistical genetics. When used for feature selection, they allow to find a sparse set of genetic traits that best predict a continuous phenotype of interest, while simultaneously correcting for various confounding factors such as age, ethnicity and population structure…
We focus on the high-dimensional linear regression problem, where the algorithmic goal is to efficiently infer an unknown feature vector β∗∈Rp from its linear measurements, using a small number n of samples. Unlike most of the literature, we make no sparsity assumption on β∗, but instead adopt a dif…
The Expectation-Maximization algorithm is perhaps the most broadly used algorithm for inference of latent variable problems. A theoretical understanding of its performance, however, largely remains lacking. Recent results established that EM enjoys global convergence for Gaussian Mixture Models. For Mixed Linear Regres…

problem Forecasting corporate distress with right-censored data, high-dimensional predictors, and mixed-frequency data.
method The paper introduces a novel high-dimensional censored MIDAS logistic regression method that handles censoring through inverse probability weighting and employs a sparse-group penalty for mixed-frequency predictors.
result The method achieves accurate estimation and superior performance in predicting financial distress of Chinese-listed firms.
Given a linear regression setting, Iterative Least Trimmed Squares (ILTS) involves alternating between (a) selecting the subset of samples with lowest current loss, and (b) re-fitting the linear model only on that subset. Both steps are very fast and simple. In this paper we analyze ILTS in the setting of mixed linear …
We propose a novel high-dimensional linear regression estimator: the Discrete Dantzig Selector, which minimizes the number of nonzero regression coefficients subject to a budget on the maximal absolute correlation between the features and residuals. Motivated by the significant advances in integer optimization over the…
Latent variable models are a fundamental modeling tool in machine learning applications, but they present significant computational and analytical challenges. The popular EM algorithm and its variants, is a much used algorithmic tool; yet our rigorous understanding of its performance is highly incomplete. Recently, wor…
This paper concerns the development of an inferential framework for high-dimensional linear mixed effect models. These are suitable models, for instance, when we have n repeated measurements for M subjects. We consider a scenario where the number of fixed effects p is large (and may be larger than M), but the n…
