Regularization, sparse recovery, and median-of-means tournaments

15 Jan 2017  ·  Gábor Lugosi, Shahar Mendelson ·

A regularized risk minimization procedure for regression function estimation is introduced that achieves near optimal accuracy and confidence under general conditions, including heavy-tailed predictor and response variables. The procedure is based on median-of-means tournaments, introduced by the authors in [8]. It is shown that the new procedure outperforms standard regularized empirical risk minimization procedures such as lasso or slope in heavy-tailed problems.
