Meinshausen and Buhlmann [Ann. Statist. 34 (2006) 1436--1462] showed that, for neighborhood selection in Gaussian graphical models, under a neighborhood stability condition, the LASSO is consistent, even when the number of variables is of greater order than the sample size. Zhao and Yu [(2006) J. Machine Learning Research 7 2541--2567] formalized the neighborhood stability condition in the context of linear regression as a strong irrepresentable condition. That paper showed that under this condition, the LASSO selects exactly the set of nonzero regression coefficients, provided that these coefficients are bounded away from zero at a certain rate. In this paper, the regression coefficients outside an ideal model are assumed to be small, but not necessarily zero. Under a sparse Riesz condition on the correlation of design variables, we prove that the LASSO selects a model of the correct order of dimensionality, controls the bias of the selected model at a level determined by the contributions of small regression coefficients and threshold bias, and selects all coefficients of greater order than the bias of the selected model. Moreover, as a consequence of this rate consistency of the LASSO in model selection, it is proved that the sum of error squares for the mean response and the $ell_{alpha}$-loss for the regression coefficients converge at the best possible rates under the given conditions. An interesting aspect of our results is that the logarithm of the number of variables can be of the same order as the sample size for certain random dependent designs.

We consider a high-dimensional regression model with a possible change-point due to a covariate threshold and develop the Lasso estimator of regression coefficients as well as the threshold parameter. Our Lasso estimator not only selects covariates b
ut also selects a model between linear and threshold regression models. Under a sparsity assumption, we derive non-asymptotic oracle inequalities for both the prediction risk and the $ell_1$ estimation loss for regression coefficients. Since the Lasso estimator selects variables simultaneously, we show that oracle inequalities can be established without pretesting the existence of the threshold effect. Furthermore, we establish conditions under which the estimation error of the unknown threshold parameter can be bounded by a nearly $n^{-1}$ factor even when the number of regressors can be much larger than the sample size ($n$). We illustrate the usefulness of our proposed estimation method via Monte Carlo simulations and an application to real data.
We study the problem of high-dimensional variable selection via some two-step procedures. First we show that given some good initial estimator which is $ell_{infty}$-consistent but not necessarily variable selection consistent, we can apply the nonne
gative Garrote, adaptive Lasso or hard-thresholding procedure to obtain a final estimator that is both estimation and variable selection consistent. Unlike the Lasso, our results do not require the irrepresentable condition which could fail easily even for moderate $p_n$ (Zhao and Yu, 2007) and it also allows $p_n$ to grow almost as fast as $exp(n)$ (for hard-thresholding there is no restriction on $p_n$). We also study the conditions under which the Ridge regression can be used as an initial estimator. We show that under a relaxed identifiable condition, the Ridge estimator is $ell_{infty}$-consistent. Such a condition is usually satisfied when $p_nle n$ and does not require the partial orthogonality between relevant and irrelevant covariates which is needed for the univariate regression in (Huang et al., 2008). Our numerical studies show that when using the Lasso or Ridge as initial estimator, the two-step procedures have a higher sparsity recovery rate than the Lasso or adaptive Lasso with univariate regression used in (Huang et al., 2008).
We consider a $l_1$-penalization procedure in the non-parametric Gaussian regression model. In many concrete examples, the dimension $d$ of the input variable $X$ is very large (sometimes depending on the number of observations). Estimation of a $bet
a$-regular regression function $f$ cannot be faster than the slow rate $n^{-2beta/(2beta+d)}$. Hopefully, in some situations, $f$ depends only on a few numbers of the coordinates of $X$. In this paper, we construct two procedures. The first one selects, with high probability, these coordinates. Then, using this subset selection method, we run a local polynomial estimator (on the set of interesting coordinates) to estimate the regression function at the rate $n^{-2beta/(2beta+d^*)}$, where $d^*$, the real dimension of the problem (exact number of variables whom $f$ depends on), has replaced the dimension $d$ of the design. To achieve this result, we used a $l_1$ penalization method in this non-parametric setup.
We show that if the exposure and the outcome affect the selection indicator in the same direction and have non-positive interaction on the risk difference, risk ratio or odds ratio scale, the exposure-outcome odds ratio in the selected population is a lower bound for true odds ratio.
We study a dimensionality reduction technique for finite mixtures of high-dimensional multivariate response regression models. Both the dimension of the response and the number of predictors are allowed to exceed the sample size. We consider predicto
r selection and rank reduction to obtain lower-dimensional approximations. A class of estimators with a fast rate of convergence is introduced. We apply this result to a specific procedure, introduced in [11], where the relevant predictors are selected by the Group-Lasso.
