Abstract:

We often face corrupted high dimensional data in many applications where missing data and measurement errors cannot be ignored. We propose a new method named CoCoLasso that is convex and can handle a general class of corrupted datasets including the cases of additive measurement error and random missing data. CoCoLasso can be reformulated as a modified Lasso problem and automatically enjoys the benefits of convexity for high-dimensional regression. Theoretically, we establish that the error bounds of CoCoLasso are comparable to those of the Lasso. We also derive finite sample and asymptotic sign-consistent selection property without requiring any specifi cation of the type of measurement error. We elucidate how standard cross validation techniques may be inefficient in presence of measurement error and develop a novel cross-validation technique for choosing tuning parameter for CoCoLasso. We demonstrate the superior performance of our method over the non-convex approach by simulation studies.
