MSE of a prediction vector f̂ relative to the true signal f: MSE(f̂) = (1/n)|f̂ − f|₂²
ℓ₀ "norm" (support size) of a vector
ℓ₁ norm of a vector
The LS objective: (1/n)|Y − Φθ|². Used by both the unconstrained LS and constrained LS estimators.
The BIC objective: (1/n)|Y − Φθ|² + τ²|θ|₀
The Lasso objective: (1/n)|Y − Φθ|² + 2τ|θ|₁
MSE is always nonneg: product of (1/n ≥ 0) and (sum of squares ≥ 0).
The LS objective is always nonneg.
The ℓ₁ norm is always nonneg.
