Spectrum-aware debiasing conjecture for non-separable convex penalties
Spectrum-aware debiasing conjecture for non-separable convex penalties
Let be a proper, closed, twice-differentiable convex penalty, or admit a twice-differentiable extension, and let
Define , , and by the formulas preceding the conjecture, with satisfying
Spectrum-aware debiasing conjecture. Under suitable conditions, there is a unique solution of this equation and
where and denotes a vector satisfying almost surely as . This conjecture proposes an asymptotically Gaussian distribution for the debiased estimator under non-separable penalties; the uniqueness and the stated approximation remain open.
