报告摘要：Transfer learning can leverage information from the source domain to improve the estimation or prediction accuracy of the target task. For the high-dimensional linear regression model with sub-Gaussian noise, so-called Trans-Lasso algorithm has been proposed to boost the learning performance on the target domain. However, such algorithm may not lead to efficient estimates when the errors are heavy-tailed. In this paper, we investigate the penalized convoluted rank regression (CRR) under the transfer learning framework, aiming to provide robust estimators when dealing with heavy-tailed noise. The convolution smoothing technique improves the smoothness of the loss function without introducing any bias. In the high-dimensional setting, we first propose a transfer learning algorithm on the penalized CRR models with known transferable sources, and establish l2/l1-estimation error bounds for the corresponding estimators. Besides, we propose a transferable detection method to select informative sources and also verify its consistency. At last, we provide extensive numerical simulations and real data analysis to demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed methods.
