SUMMARY:Mohamed (Simo) NDAOUD (ESSEC-CREST) - "Variable selection\, monotone likelihood ratio and group sparsity "
DESCRIPTION:Statistical Seminar: Every Monday at 2:00 pm.\nTime: 2:00 pm – 3:15 pm\nDate: 4th of April 2022\nPlace: Amphi 200 \nMohamed (Simo) NDAOUD (ESSEC-CREST) – “Variable selection\, monotone likelihood ratio and group sparsity ” \nAbstract: In the pivotal variable selection problem\, we derive the ex- act non-asymptotic minimax selector over the class of all s-sparse vectors\, which is also the Bayes selector with respect to the uniform prior. While this optimal selector is\, in general\, not realizable in polynomial time\, we show that its tractable counterpart (the scan selector) attains the minimax expected Hamming risk to within factor 2\, and is also exact minimax with respect to the probability of wrong recovery. As a consequence\, we establish explicit lower bounds under the monotone likelihood ratio property and we obtain a tight characterization of the minimax risk in terms of the best separable selector risk. We apply these general results to derive necessary and sufficient conditions of exact and almost full recovery in the location model with light tail distributions and in the problem of group variable selection under Gaussian noise. Joint with Cristina Butucea\, Enno Mammen and Alexandre Tsybakov. \n  \nOrganizers:\nCristina BUTUCEA (CREST)\, Alexandre TSYBAKOV (CREST)\, Karim LOUNICI (CMAP) \, Jaouad MOURTADA (CREST)\nSponsors:\nCREST-CMAP \n
