Estimation of high dimensional mean regression in the absence of symmetry and light tail assumptions
TL;DR: A penalized Huber loss with diverging parameter to reduce biases created by the traditional Huer loss is proposed and a penalized robust approximate (RA) quadratic loss is called the RA lasso, which is compared with other regularized robust estimators based on quantile regression and least absolute deviation regression.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Statistical Investigation of the Dependence of Tropical Cyclone Intensity Change on the Surrounding Environment
TL;DR: In this article, a progression of advanced statistical methods is applied to investigate the dependence of the 6-h tropical cyclone intensity change on various environmental variables, including the recently developed ventilation index (VI).
Journal ArticleDOI
Embracing the Blessing of Dimensionality in Factor Models.
TL;DR: In this paper, a divide-and-conquer algorithm is proposed to alleviate the computational burden, and also shown not to sacrifice any statistical accuracy in comparison with a pooled analysis, which is applied to a microarray data example.

Robust Estimation of High-Dimensional Mean Regression
TL;DR: The results reveal that the RA-lasso estimator produces a consistent estimator at the same rate as the optimal rate under the light-tail situation, and the composite gradient descent algorithm indeed produces a solution that admits the same optimal rate after sufficient iterations.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Understanding and Improving Fairness-Accuracy Trade-offs in Multi-Task Learning
TL;DR: In this paper, a multi-task-aware fairness (MTA-F) approach is proposed to improve the fairness of multi-tasks in a joint learning setting, where several tasks are learned jointly to exploit task correlations for more efficient inductive transfer.
