Abstract
The problem of adaptive prediction and estimation in the stochastic linear regression model with infinitely many parameters is considered. We suggest a prediction method that is sharp asymptotically minimax adaptive over ellipsoids in ℓ2. The method consists in an application of blockwise Stein's rule with "weakly" geometrically increasing blocks to the penalized least squares fits of the first N coefficients. To prove the results we develop oracle inequalities for a sequence model with correlated data.
