Abstract: Sparse ridge regression problems play a significant role across various domains. To solve sparse ridge regression, Liu et al. (2023) recently propose an advanced algorithm, Scalable Optimal $K$-Sparse Ridge Regression (OKRidge), which is both faster and more accurate than existing approaches. However, the absence of theoretical analysis on the error of OKRidge impedes its large-scale applications. In this paper, we reframe the estimation error of OKRidge as a Primary Optimization ($\textbf{PO}$) problem and employ the Convex Gaussian min-max theorem (CGMT) to simplify the $\textbf{PO}$ problem into an Auxiliary Optimization ($\textbf{AO}$) problem. Subsequently, we provide a theoretical error analysis for OKRidge based on the $\textbf{AO}$ problem. This error analysis improves the theoretical reliability of OKRidge. We also conduct experiments to verify our theorems and the results are in excellent agreement with our theoretical findings.
