Abstract: Abstract The accuracy of response variables is crucially important to train regression models. In some situations, including the high-dimensional case, response observations tend to be inaccurate, which would lead to biased estimators by directly fitting a conventional model. For analyzing data with anomalous responses in the high-dimensional case, in this work, we adopt γ-divergence to conduct variable selection and estimation methods. The proposed method possesses good robustness to anomalous responses, and the proportion of abnormal data does not need to be modeled. It is implemented by an efficient coordinate descent algorithm. In the setting where the dimensionality p can grow exponentially fast with the sample size n, we rigorously establish variable selection consistency and estimation bounds. Numerical simulations and an application on real data are presented to demonstrate the performance of the proposed method.
