We study the problem of exact support recovery based on noisy observations and present Refined Least Squares (RLS). Given a set of noisy measurement $$ myvec{y} = myvec{X}myvec{theta}^* + myvec{omega},$$ and $myvec{X} in mathbb{R}^{N times D}$ which is a (known) Gaussian matrix and $myvec{omega} in mathbb{R}^N$ is an (unknown) Gaussian noise vector, our goal is to recover the support of the (unknown) sparse vector $myvec{theta}^* in left{-1,0,1right}^D$. To recover the support of the $myvec{theta}^*$ we use an average of multiple least squares solutions, each computed based on a subset of the full set of equations. The support is estimated by identifying the most significant coefficients of the average least squares solution. We demonstrate that in a wide variety of settings our method outperforms state-of-the-art support recovery algorithms.
