We consider logistic regression with arbitrary outliers in the covariate matrix. We propose a new robust logistic regression algorithm, called RoLR, that estimates the parameter through a simple linear programming procedure. We prove that RoLR is robust to a constant fraction of adversarial outliers. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first result on estimating logistic regression model ...

HAL is a multi-disciplinary open access archive for the deposit and dissemination of scientific research documents, whether they are published or not. The documents may come from teaching and research institutions in France or abroad, or from public or private research centers. L’archive ouverte pluridisciplinaire HAL, est destinée au dépôt et à la diffusion de documents scientifiques de niveau...

A family of dimension reduction methods was developed by Cook and Ni [Sufficient dimension reduction via inverse regression: a minimum discrepancy approach. J. Amer. Statist. Assoc. 100, 410–428.] via minimizing a quadratic objective function. Its optimal member called the inverse regression estimator (IRE) was proposed. However, its calculation involves higher order moments of the predictors. ...

We study the problem of Robust Least Squares Regression (RLSR) where several response variables can be adversarially corrupted. More specifically, for a data matrix X ∈ Rp×n and an underlying model w∗, the response vector is generated as y = XTw∗+b where b ∈ R is the corruption vector supported over at most C ·n coordinates. Existing exact recovery results for RLSR focus solely on L1-penalty ba...
