报告摘要：

Modern high-dimensional methods commonly adopt the "bet on sparsity" principle while in the big-data era statisticians often face "dense" problems with large numbers of unknowns. This paper gives a mathematical formulation of low-rank supervised clustering to automatically group the predictors in building a multivariate predictive model. By use of linearization and block coordinate descent, a simple-to-implement algorithm is developed, which performs subspace learning and clustering iteratively with guaranteed convergence. We show a tight error bound of the proposed method, study its minimax optimality, and propose a new information criterion for parameter tuning, all with distinctive rates from the large body of literature based on sparsity. Extensive simulations and real-data experiments demonstrate the excellent performance of rank-constrained inherent clustering.
