Rademacher complexity of logistic regression

Consider logistic regression. We have the logistic loss function, $\phi: R\rightarrow [0,1], \phi(u)=\log(1+\exp(-u))$, which is Lipschitz, and we have the linear function class $F=\{f_w:R^d \...

Asymptotic property of tuning parameter in penalized regression

I'm currently working on asymptotic properties of penalized regression. I've read a myriad of papers by now, but there is an essential issue that I cannot get my head around. To keep things simple, I'...

Logistic regression for classification: are there any analytical solutions for the out-of-sample accuracy?

I run a binary logistic regression, with a binary dependent variable and a continuous independent one. Now I want to evaluate the out-of-sample performance of the classification algorithm so obtained. ...

Interpreting regression coefficients based on Andrew Gelman's re-scaling method

I have two predictors in a binary logistic regression model: One binary and one continuous. My primary goal is to compare the coefficients of the two predictors within the same model. I have come ...

Is autocorrelation not worth addressing with small N?

Consider a simple regression context in which there is a small set of response values, $Y$, and corresponding dates, $X$. (For simplicity, we can assume the dates are equally spaced.) We would like ...

Why we really need the concept of "Local" Rademacher complexity?

Recently, I have been studying High-Dimensional Statistics: A Non-Asymptotic Viewpoint written by Martin J. Wainwright. In this book, the author uses a special complexity measure which is called Local ...

Pope effect on pizza - Regression with presence absence and similarity data as dependent variables

I'm trying to figure out the right way to set up a regression when the dependent variables are presence absence data (of pizzas), and the similarity between the present pizzas. Bear with the story: ...

When using L2 regularization outside of linear regression, do the same MAP estimation assumptions hold?

Some context is shared below, and my question is bolded at the end. MLE from observation noise In the linear regression setting, we learn model weights $\mathbf{w}$ to make scalar predictions $\hat{y}...

What techniques are there to measure goodness of fit of Deming (orthogonal) regression?

Questions: Even if there is no "widely accepted" technique, is there a useful-and-above-average technique for estimating goodness of fit in orthogonal regressions? What are the pros/cons of this ...

Errors-in-Variables model for logistic regression

Simple question: I am familiar (though don't have tons of experience) with errors-in-variables regression. From what I have seen, this mostly is used with continuous outcomes in a linear model. A) Is ...
