Short Syllabus
High-dimensional data can be used for a variety of different objectives. Recently, prediction-type objectives have received particular attention. We focus on linear regression models of the from Y = Xβ∗ + ξ, where (X, Y) ∈ Rn×p × Rn is the data, β∗ ∈ Rp the unknown regression vector, and ξ is a noise vector in Rn.Our first objective is standard prediction, that is, uncovering Xβ∗ from data. We especially cover recent developments in the understanding of the prediction performances and limitations of lasso-type estimators.
Our second objective is prediction in a supervised/transductive settings. Observing (X,Y) and additional sets of covariates Z ∈ Rm×p, the goal is to estimate Zβ∗. Available for this are the original labeled data (X, Y) as well as the additional unlabeled set of predictors Z. We especially highlight how the correlations in X and Z are connected to the performance of lasso-type estimators
