Abstract:This paper is concerned with inference on the regression function of a high-dimensional linear model when outcomes are missing at random. We propose an estimator that combines a Lasso pilot estimate of the regression function with a bias correction term based on the weighted residuals of the Lasso regression. The weights depend on estimates of the missingness probabilities (propensity scores) and solve a convex optimization program that trades off bias and variance optimally. Provided that the propensity scores can be pointwise consistently estimated at in-sample data points, our proposed estimator for the regression function is asymptotically normal and semiparametrically efficient among all asymptotically linear estimators. Furthermore, the proposed estimator retains its asymptotic properties even if the propensity scores are estimated by modern machine learning techniques. We validate the finite-sample performance of the proposed estimator through comparative simulation studies and the real-world problem of inferring the stellar masses of galaxies in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey.
