We develop a new targeted maximum likelihood estimation method that provides improved forecasting for misspecified linear autoregressive models. The method weighs data points in the observed sample and is useful in the presence of data generating processes featuring structural breaks, complex...

We develop two new methods for selecting the penalty parameter for the l1 -penalized high-dimensional M-estimator, which we refer to as the analytic and bootstrap-aftercross-validation methods. For both methods, we derive nonasymptotic error bounds for the corresponding l1 -penalized M-estimator...
