Robust Regression

Global Linear and Local Superlinear Convergence of IRLS for Non-Smooth Robust Regression

We advance both the theory and practice of robust $\ell_p$-quasinorm regression for $p \in (0,1]$ by using novel variants of iteratively reweighted least-squares (IRLS) to solve the underlying non-smooth problem. In the convex case, $p=1$, we prove …
