Over-parameterized linear regression has been widely studied over the last decade. However, most existing works assume that the covariates are independent and that their covariance matrices are non-degenerate.
arXiv:2608. 07281v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This paper investigates the asymptotic behavior of the out-of-sample prediction risk of the high-dimensional ridgeless least-squares estimator when the feature dimension $p$ and the sample size $n$ grow proportionally.

arXiv:2509. 17251v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Existing theory suggests that for linear regression problems categorized by capacity and source conditions, gradient descent (GD) is always minimax optimal, while both ridge regression and online stochastic gradient descent (SGD) are polynomially suboptimal for certain categories of such problems.

arXiv:2309. 15769v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Recent advances in deep learning have highlighted the phenomenon of benign overfitting in overparameterized statistical models, sparking significant interest in understanding its foundations.

arXiv:2306. 14851v5 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Given a high-dimensional covariate matrix and a response vector, ridge-regularized sparse linear regression selects a subset of features that explains the relationship between covariates and the response in an interpretable manner.

arXiv:2608. 17466v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Regularized sparse regression has been extensively studied in the offline setting, but online formulation remains relatively under-explored.

arXiv:2607. 08380v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: An important quantity in the theory of gradient descent (GD) is the \emph{sharpness}, defined as the largest eigenvalue of the objective Hessian.

arXiv:2605. 24316v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Mini-batching is central to large-scale optimization, yet its role in statistical scaling laws remains limited.
