报告摘要:Learning invariant predictive relationships across heterogeneous environments is crucial for out-of-distribution (OOD) generalization and stable feature identification. In this work, we study a sparse environment-invariant generalized linear model (EIGLM) and formulate its estimator with an explicit sparsity constraint. From a statistical perspective, we establish that the population objective uniquely identifies the true invariant parameter, and we derive non-asymptotic estimation error bounds together with support recovery consistency guarantees in high-dimensional regimes. From a computational perspective, we reformulate the estimator as a sparsity-constrained binary integer program and introduce a sharp-peak penalty function. We prove an exact penalty theorem, demonstrating that the penalized formulation is equivalent to the original mixed-integer model beyond a solution-independent threshold; furthermore, we characterize first-order optimality via P-stationarity. We then develop an alternating proximal gradient descent algorithm with closed-form proximal updates, establishing subsequence convergence, finite-step binary identification, global sequence convergence, and linear convergence rates under mild assumptions. Extensive numerical experiments on both synthetic and real-world datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method in identifying invariant and causal variables while maintaining competitive predictive accuracy.
