Sharp Guarantees for Solving Random Equations with One-Bit Information
share
We study the performance of a wide class of convex optimization-based estimators for recovering a signal from corrupted one-bit measurements in high-dimensions. Our general result predicts sharply the performance of such estimators in the linear asymptotic regime when the measurement vectors have entries IID Gaussian. This includes, as a special case, the previously studied least-squares estimator and various novel results for other popular estimators such as least-absolute deviations, hinge-loss and logistic-loss. Importantly, we exploit the fact that our analysis holds for generic convex loss functions to prove a bound on the best achievable performance across the entire class of estimators. Numerical simulations corroborate our theoretical findings and suggest they are accurate even for relatively small problem dimensions.
