Abstract
We introduce a regularized risk minimization procedure for regression function estimation. The procedure is based on median-of-means tournaments, introduced by the authors in Lugosi and Mendelson (2018) and achieves near optimal accuracy and confidence under general conditions, including heavy-tailed predictor and response variables. It outperforms standard regularized empirical risk minimization procedures such as LASSO or SLOPE in heavy-tailed problems.
