Robust and Sparse Generalized Linear Models for High-Dimensional Data via Maximum Mean Discrepancy

Xiaoning Kang, Lulu Kang

High-dimensional datasets are frequently subject to contamination by outliers and heavy-tailed noise, which can severely bias standard regularized estimators like the Lasso. While…

Weighted Average Ensemble for Cholesky-based Covariance Matrix Estimation

Xiaoning Kang, Zhenguo Gao, Xi Liang +1

The modified Cholesky decomposition (MCD) is an efficient technique for estimating a covariance matrix. However, it is known that the MCD technique often requires a pre-specified v…

On Block Cholesky Decomposition for Sparse Inverse Covariance Estimation

Xiaoning Kang, Jiayi Lian, Xinwei Deng

The modified Cholesky decomposition is popular for inverse covariance estimation, but often needs pre-specification on the full information of variable ordering. In this work, we p…
