Communication-efficient sparse regression: a one-shot approach

JD Lee, Y Sun, Q Liu, JE Taylor - arxiv preprint arxiv:1503.04337, 2015 - arxiv.org
We devise a one-shot approach to distributed sparse regression in the high-dimensional
setting. The key idea is to average" debiased" or" desparsified" lasso estimators. We show …
