Abstract

We introduce a new method - the group Dantzig selector - for high dimensional sparse regression with group structure, which has a convincing theory about why utilizing the group structure can be beneficial. Under a group restricted isometry condition, we obtain a significantly improved nonasymptotic ℓ 2-norm bound over the basis pursuit or the Dantzig selector which ignores the group structure. To gain more insight, we also introduce a surprisingly simple and intuitive sparsity oracle condition to obtain a block ℓ 1-norm bound, which is easily accessible to a broad audience in machine learning community. Encouraging numerical results are also provided to support our theory.
