square-root-PMM

square-root-PMM version 1.0: a MATLAB software for square-root regression problems
Peipei Tang, Chengjing Wang, Defeng Sun, and Kim-Chuan Toh

This is software package for solving the square-root regression problem:
$$
\min_\beta \{ \|X\beta -b\|_{2}+\lambda p(\beta)-q(\beta)\}.
$$
A sparse semismooth Newton based proximal majorization-minimization algorithm is used to solve this problem; details can be found in the following reference.
