报告摘要
We introduce a new class of mean regression estimators — penalized maximum tangent likelihood estimation — for high-dimensional robust estimation and variable selection. We first explain the key ingredient, a novel robust method called maximum tangent likelihood estimation (MTE). We establish the optimal rate of convergence in the order of for the proposed penalized MTE under high dimensional regression settings. The proposed penalized MTE has a broad spectrum that consists of penalized distance, penalized exponential squared loss, penalized least trimmed square and penalized least square as special cases, and can be regarded as a mixture of minimum Kullback-Leibler distance estimation and minimum distance estimation. We conduct extensive simulation studies and real data analysis to demonstrate the advantages of the penalized MTE.
