contents In the field of high-dimensional data analysis, modeling methods based on quantile loss function are highly regarded due to their ability to provide a comprehensive statistical perspective and effective handling of heterogeneous data. In recent years, many studies have focused on using the parallel alternating direction method of multipliers (P-ADMM) to solve high-dimensional quantile regression and classification problems. One efficient strategy is to reformulate the quantile loss function by introducing slack variables. However, this reformulation introduces a theoretical challenge: even when the regularization term is convex, the convergence of the algorithm cannot be guaranteed. To address this challenge, this paper proposes the Gaussian Back-Substitution strategy, which requires only a simple and effective correction step that can be easily integrated into existing parallel algorithm frameworks, achieving a linear convergence rate. Furthermore, this paper extends the parallel algorithm to handle some novel quantile loss classification models. Numerical simulations demonstrate that the proposed modified P-ADMM algorithm exhibits excellent performance in terms of reliability and efficiency.
