Principal components analysis (PCA) is a well-known technique for approximating a data set represented by a matrix by a low rank matrix. Here, we extend the idea of PCA to handle arbitrary data sets…
Selective Inference is the problem of testing hypotheses that are chosen or suggested by the
data. Inference after variable selection in high-dimensional linear regression is a common
example of…
