Sparse Regularization via Convex Analysis

Open access
Selesnick, Ivan·2017·IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing

Abstract

Sparse approximate solutions to linear equations are classically obtained via L1 norm regularized least squares, but this method often underestimates the true solution. As an alternative to the L1 norm, this paper proposes a class of nonconvex penalty functions that maintain the convexity of the least squares cost function to be minimized, and avoids the systematic underestimation characteristic of L1 norm regularization. The proposed penalty function is a multivariate generalization of the minimax-concave penalty. It is defined in terms of a new multivariate generalization of the Huber function, which in turn is defined via infimal convolution. The proposed sparse-regularized least squares cost function can be minimized by proximal algorithms comprising simple computations.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
