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 $\ell_2$-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 $\ell_1$-norm bound, which is easily accessible to a broad audience in machine learning community. Encouraging numerical results are also provided to support our theory.
