    Abstract

    To successfully work on variable selection, sparse model structure has become
    a basic assumption for all existing methods. However, this assumption is
    questionable as it is hard to hold in most of cases and none of existing
    methods may provide consistent estimation and accurate model prediction in
    nons-parse scenarios.

    Abstract

    For consistency (even oracle properties) of estimation and model prediction,
    almost all existing methods of variable/feature selection critically depend on
    sparsity of models. However, for ``large $p$ and small $n$" models sparsity
    assumption is hard to check and particularly, when this assumption is violated,
    the consistency of all existing estimations is usually impossible because
    working models selected by existing methods such as the LASSO and the Dantzig
    selector are usually biased. To attack this problem, we in this paper propose
    adaptive post-Dantzig estimation and model prediction.

  3. Covariate-adjusted nonlinear regression.

    Abstract

    In this paper, we propose a covariate-adjusted nonlinear regression model. In
    this model, both the response and predictors can only be observed after being
    distorted by some multiplicative factors. Because of nonlinearity, existing
    methods for the linear setting cannot be directly employed. To attack this
    problem, we propose estimating the distorting functions by nonparametrically
    regressing the predictors and response on the distorting covariate; then,
    nonlinear least squares estimators for the parameters are obtained using the
    estimated response and predictors.
