The Noise Collector for sparse recovery in high dimensions

Abstract

The ability to detect sparse signals from noisy, high-dimensional data is a top priority in modern science and engineering. For optimal results, current approaches need to tune parameters that depend on the level of noise, which is often difficult to estimate. We develop a parameter-free, computationally efficient, ℓ 1 -norm minimization approach that has a zero false discovery rate (no false positives) with high probability for any level of noise while it detects the exact location of sparse signals when the noise is not too large.
