With the usual objectivethe Karush-Kuhn-Tucker conditions for the Lasso areComparing the objective at ${\hat{\beta }}_{\lambda }$ and ${\beta }^0$, expanding the square, and cancelling the noise norm gives exactly

Choose $\lambda =A\sigma \sqrt{\log p/n}$. Since every column has norm $\sqrt{n}$, each $X_j^T\epsilon /n$ is sub-Gaussian with parameter $\sigma /\sqrt{n}$. A union bound givesOn the complementary event, Holder inequality and the triangle inequality bound the preceding right-hand side bywhich proves the stated prediction bound.

For the Dantzig selector, use the constraint $n^{-1}\Vert X^T(Y-X\beta ){\Vert }_{\infty }\le \lambda$. The Lasso KKT conditions make ${\hat{\beta }}_{\lambda }$ feasible, so a Dantzig minimizer $\tilde{\beta }$ has no larger ${\ell }^1$ norm. If $\tilde{\beta }$ were not the Lasso solution, uniqueness from invertibility of $X^{T}X$ would imply that some active coordinate $j$ has strict signed KKT slack. For small $\eta >0$, setOnly score coordinate $j$ changes, toward its feasible boundary, so ${\beta }_{\eta }$ remains feasible. For small $\eta$, signs on the active coordinates do not change, andby strict diagonal dominance. This contradicts Dantzig optimality, so the two estimators coincide.

For Lasso loss $\Vert Y-X\beta {\Vert }_2^2/(2n)+\lambda \Vert \beta {\Vert }_1$ and $Y=X{\beta }^0+\eta$, stationarity with a penalty subgradient gives $\Vert X\delta {\Vert }_2^2/n\le {\eta }^{T}X\delta /n+\lambda (\Vert {\beta }^0{\Vert }_1-\Vert \hat{\beta }{\Vert }_1)$, $\delta =\hat{\beta }-{\beta }^0$. This follows by multiplying the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker conditions by $\delta$ and using $z^T\hat{\beta }=\Vert \hat{\beta }{\Vert }_1$ and $z^T{\beta }^0\le \Vert {\beta }^0{\Vert }_1$.

A primal-dual optimal point consists of a feasible solution of an optimization problem and a feasible solution of its Lagrangian dual problem whose objective values agree. Under differentiability and suitable convexity, such points satisfy the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker conditions.

For signed training labels, a linear soft-margin support vector machine minimizeswith $C>0$. Its Karush-Kuhn-Tucker conditions give $w={\sum }_i{\alpha }_i{y}_i{x}_i$, ${\sum }_i{\alpha }_i{y}_i=0$, and $0\le {\alpha }_i\le C$.

The subdifferential of the L1 norm consists of vectors $z$ with $z_j=\mathrm{sgn}({\beta }_j)$ when ${\beta }_j\ne 0$ and $z_j\in [-1,1]$ when ${\beta }_j=0$. These coordinate conditions give the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker conditions for Lasso and Square-root Lasso.

For a fixed $C$ in the unnormalized sum-of-slacks objective and unique training optimizers, deleting an observation with ${\alpha }_i=0$ preserves the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker conditions and the fitted decision function. It is correctly classified when held out. Consequently Leave-one-out cross-validation makes at most $s$ errors, where $s$ counts positive dual coefficients. With geometric support vectors, counting all points of signed margin at most one also gives the bound, without a nondegeneracy assumption.

A Lasso minimizer with positive residual scale ${\hat{\sigma }}_{\lambda }=\Vert Y-X{\hat{\beta }}_{\lambda }{\Vert }_2/\sqrt{n}$ also minimizes the Square-root Lasso objective at the displayed tuning parameter. Divide its Karush-Kuhn-Tucker conditions by the residual scale and use the subgradient optimality condition.
