This article proposes a robust signal recovery method for high-dimensional linear log-contrast models, capable of handling heavy-tailed and asymmetric error distributions. The method is based on Huber loss with l(1) penalization, and its effectiveness is evaluated through simulation studies and applied to GDP satisfaction and HIV microbiome datasets.
In this article, we propose a robust signal recovery method for high-dimensional linear log-contrast models, when the error distribution could be heavy-tailed and asymmetric. The proposed method is built on the Huber loss with l(1) penalization. We establish the l(1) and l(2) consistency for the resulting estimator. Under conditions analogous to the irrepresentability condition and the minimum signal strength condition, we prove that the signed support of the slope parameter vector can be recovered with high probability. The finite-sample behavior of the proposed method is evaluated through simulation studies, and applications to a GDP satisfaction dataset an HIV microbiome dataset are provided.
