Group SLOPE - adaptive selection of groups of predictors

Damian Brzyski, Weijie Su, Małgorzata Bogdan

Sorted L-One Penalized Estimation is a relatively new convex optimization procedure which allows for adaptive selection of regressors under sparse high dimensional designs. Here we…

Private False Discovery Rate Control

Cynthia Dwork, Weijie Su, Li Zhang

We provide the first differentially private algorithms for controlling the false discovery rate (FDR) in multiple hypothesis testing, with essentially no loss in power under certai…

False Discoveries Occur Early on the Lasso Path

Weijie Su, Malgorzata Bogdan, Emmanuel Candes

In regression settings where explanatory variables have very low correlations and there are relatively few effects, each of large magnitude, we expect the Lasso to find the importa…

Communication-Efficient False Discovery Rate Control via Knockoff Aggregation

Weijie Su, Junyang Qian, Linxi Liu

The false discovery rate (FDR)---the expected fraction of spurious discoveries among all the discoveries---provides a popular statistical assessment of the reproducibility of scien…

Familywise Error Rate Control via Knockoffs

Lucas Janson, Weijie Su

We present a novel method for controlling the -familywise error rate (-FWER) in the linear regression setting using the knockoffs framework first introduced by Barber and Can…

SLOPE is Adaptive to Unknown Sparsity and Asymptotically Minimax

Weijie Su, Emmanuel Candes

We consider high-dimensional sparse regression problems in which we observe , where is an design matrix and is an -dimensional vector of indepen…

A Differential Equation for Modeling Nesterov's Accelerated Gradient Method: Theory and Insights

Weijie Su, Stephen Boyd, Emmanuel J. Candes

We derive a second-order ordinary differential equation (ODE) which is the limit of Nesterov's accelerated gradient method. This ODE exhibits approximate equivalence to Nesterov's…
