Estimator (SLOPE) is a relatively new convex regularization method for
fitting high-dimensional regression models. SLOPE allows
the reduction of the model dimension by shrinking some estimates of the
regression coefficients completely to zero or by equating the absolute
values of some nonzero estimates of these coefficients. This allows one
to identify situations where some of true regression coefficients are
equal. In this article we will introduce the SLOPE pattern, i.e., the
set of relations between the true regression coefficients, which can be
identified by SLOPE. We will also present new results on the strong
consistency of SLOPE estimators and on the strong consistency
of pattern recovery by SLOPE when the design matrix is orthogonal and
illustrate advantages of the SLOPE clustering in the context of
high frequency signal denoising.
