Signed Support Recovery for Single Index Models in High-Dimensions

no code implementations7 Nov 2015 Matey Neykov, Qian Lin, Jun S. Liu

When $s=O(p^{1-\delta})$ for some $\delta>0$, we demonstrate that both procedures can succeed in recovering the support of $\boldsymbol{\beta}$ as long as the rescaled sample size $\kappa=\frac{n}{s\log(p-s)}$ is larger than a certain critical threshold.
