调制参数的不对称效应

The asymptotic effect of tuning parameters

Tuning parameters are parameters involved in an estimating procedure for the purpose of reducing the risk of some other estimator. Examples include the degree of penalization in penalized regression and likelihood problems, as well as the balance parameter in hybrid methods. Typically tuning parameters are set to the minimizers of some estimator of the risk, a step which introduces additional randomness and makes standard methodology inapplicable. We derive precise asymptotic theory for this sit
