Consistent Risk Estimation in Moderately High-Dimensional Linear Regression
Risk estimation is at the core of many learning systems. The importance of this problem has motivated researchers to propose different schemes, such as cross validation, generalized cross validation, and Bootstrap. The theoretical properties of such estimates have been extensively studied in the low-dimensional settings, where the number of predictors $p$ is much smaller than the number of observations $n$. However, a unifying methodology accompanied with a rigorous theory is lacking in high-dimensional settings. This paper studies the problem of risk estimation under the moderately high-dimensional asymptotic setting $n,p \rightarrow \infty$ and $n/p \rightarrow \delta>1$ ($\delta$ is a fixed number), and proves the consistency of three risk estimates that have been successful in numerical studies, i.e., leave-one-out cross validation (LOOCV), approximate leave-one-out (ALO), and approximate message passing (AMP)-based techniques. A corner stone of our analysis is a bound that we obtain on the discrepancy of the `residuals' obtained from AMP and LOOCV. This connection not only enables us to obtain a more refined information on the estimates of AMP, ALO, and LOOCV, but also offers an upper bound on the convergence rate of each estimate.

A spectral clustering-type algorithm for the consistent estimation of the Hurst distribution in moderately high dimensions
Scale invariance (fractality) is a prominent feature of the large-scale behavior of many stochastic systems. In this work, we construct an algorithm for the statistical identification of the Hurst distribution (in partic…

Two key tasks in high-dimensional regularized regression are tuning the regularization strength for accurate predictions and estimating the out-of-sample risk. It is known that the standard approach -- $k$-fold cross-val…
