New algorithm tackles truncated linear regression with unknown survival sets

Researchers have developed a new algorithm for truncated linear regression with an unknown survival set, a problem that has historically required strong assumptions or had very long run times. This novel algorithm achieves polynomial time complexity by introducing a subroutine for learning unions of intervals using only positive examples. The work advances the field of positive-only PAC learning and offers a more efficient solution for practical applications where the survival set is not predefined. AI

    Linear Regression with Unknown Truncation Beyond Gaussian Features

    arXiv:2602.12534v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: In truncated linear regression, samples $(x,y)$ are shown only when the outcome $y$ falls inside a certain survival set $S^\star$ and the goal is to estimate the unknown $d$-dimensional regressor $w^\star$. This problem has a lo…
