简介

<p><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;"><span style="color: rgb(12, 12, 12); font-size: 15px; text-align: justify;">Modern high-dimensional methods often adopt the &quot;bet on sparsity&quot; principle, while in supervised multivariate learning statisticians may face &quot;dense&quot; problems with a large number of nonzero coefficients. This paper proposes a novel clustered reduced-rank learning (CRL) framework&nbsp;that imposes two joint matrix regularizations to automatically group the features in constructing predictive factors. CRL&nbsp;is more interpretable than&nbsp;low-rank modeling and relaxes&nbsp;the stringent sparsity&nbsp;assumption in variable selection.&nbsp; In this paper, new&nbsp;information-theoretical limits are presented to&nbsp;reveal the intrinsic cost of seeking for clusters, as well as&nbsp;the blessing from dimensionality in multivariate learning. Moreover, an efficient optimization&nbsp;algorithm is developed, which&nbsp;performs subspace learning and clustering&nbsp;with guaranteed convergence. The obtained&nbsp;fixed-point estimators,&nbsp;though not necessarily globally optimal, enjoy the desired statistical accuracy beyond the standard likelihood setup under some regularity conditions.&nbsp; Moreover, a new kind of information criterion, as well as its scale-free form, is proposed&nbsp;for&nbsp;cluster and rank&nbsp; &nbsp;selection,&nbsp;and has a rigorous theoretical support&nbsp;without assuming an infinite sample size.&nbsp;Extensive simulations and real-data experiments demonstrate the statistical accuracy and interpretability&nbsp;of the proposed method.</span></span></p>
