Abstract:

In this article, we propose a new weighted square-root LASSO procedure to estimate the regression coefficient matrix in a sparse multivariate regression model with high-dimensional responses from DNA methylation data. A key feature of this method is tuning-insensitivity, which greatly simplifies the computation by obviating the cross validation for penalty parameter selection. A working precision matrix is used to account for within-subject correlations among responses. Oracle inequalities of the regularized estimators are derived. The performance of our proposed methodology is illustrated via extensive simulation studies. An application to DNA methylation data in the normative aging study is provided.
