There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

TITLE: Simultaneous Bootstrap Inference with High-Dimensional Data
ABSTRACT: We propose bootstrap methodologies for simultaneous inference of low-dimensional parameters with high dimensional data. We focus on simultaneous confidence intervals for individual coefficients in linear regression, although our approach is applicable in much broader contexts. The problem can be solved by de-biasing regularized estimators such as the Lasso. However, the Bonferroni adjustment is overly conservative and asymptotic theory is complicated, especially for non-Gaussian and heteroscedastic errors. We propose residual, wild and empirical bootstrap methodologies for more accurate and robust simultaneous inference and study sample size requirements and other properties of such procedures. Our theory is complemented by many empirical results.
