Abstract: We consider the Lasso for a noiseless experiment where one has observations and uses the penalized version of basis pursuit. We compute for some special designs the compatibility constant, a quantity closely related to the restricted eigenvalue. We moreover show the dependence of the (penalized) prediction error on this compatibility constant. This exercise illustrates that compatibility is necessarily entering into the bounds for the (penalized) prediction error and that the bounds in the literature therefore are - up to constants - tight. We also give conditions that show that in the noisy case the dominating term for the prediction error is given by the prediction error of the noiseless case.
