Inference Without Compatibility

Abstract

We consider hypotheses testing problems for three parameters in high-dimensional linear models with minimal sparsity assumptions of their type but without any compatibility conditions. Under this framework, we construct the first $\sqrt{n}$-consistent estimators for low-dimensional coefficients, the signal strength, and the noise level. We support our results using numerical simulations and provide comparisons with other estimators.
