Debiased LASSO under Poisson–Gauss model

Abstract Quantifying uncertainty in high-dimensional sparse linear regression is a fundamental task in statistics that arises in various applications. One of the most successful methods for quantifying uncertainty is the debiased LASSO, which has a solid theoretical foundation but is restricted to settings where the noise is purely additive. Motivated by real-world applications, we study the so-called Poisson inverse problem with additive Gaussian noise and propose a debiased LASSO algorithm that only requires $n \gg s\log ^{2}p$ samples, which is optimal up to a logarithmic factor.
