Abstract:

We investigate the prediction capability of the orthogonal greedy algorithm (OGA) in high-dimensional regression models with random regressors. A rate of convergence of the OGA predictor is obtained under the weak sparsity condition, which assumes that the ath powers, 0< a=1, of the absolute regression coefficients are summable. In addition, we introduce a method, called high-dimensional Akaike's information criterion (HDAIC), to determine the number of the OGA iterations, and show that OGA+HDAIC can achieve asymptotically efficient rate in situations where a is unknown.
