报告摘要：This paper studies the transfer learning problem under multiple source data with invariance structure among all sources, aiming to improve the estimation and prediction of the target source by borrowing knowledge from auxiliary sources. To boost transfer learning, we propose a novel estimation method called Joint Invariant Adaptive Transferred Estimation (JIATE), enabling a more accurate evaluation. JIATE learns the invariance structure by recognizing invariant features, which have similar effects on responses, in all sources, imposing adaptive penalty strengths to different features. It overcomes the challenge caused by the stringent similarity between target and auxiliary sources, and the noisy information from auxiliary samples. The theoretical analysis shows that JIATE guarantees consistency in selection and estimation. Extensive simulations and a real-data experiment on cancer data analysis verify the effectiveness and accuracy of our proposed method.
