contents This paper studies transfer learning for ridge-regularized robust linear regression in the moderate-dimensional regime, where the number of predictors is of the same order as the sample size and the regression coefficients are not assumed to be sparse. We propose Trans-RR, which combines a robust ridge estimator from a source study with a robust ridge correction based on the target study. Under mild assumptions, we characterize the asymptotic estimation error of the proposed estimator and show that leveraging source data can substantially improve estimation accuracy relative to the traditional single-study ridge-regularized robust estimator. Simulation results and a real-data analysis support the theory and illustrate both positive and negative transfer as the discrepancy between the source and target studies varies.

Methodology
This paper studies transfer learning for ridge-regularized robust linear regression in the moderate-dimensional regime, where the number of predictors is of the same order as the sample size and the regression coefficients are not assumed to be sparse. We propose Trans-RR, which combines a robust ridge estimator from a source study with a robust ridge correction based on the target study. Under mild assumptions, we characterize the asymptotic estimation error of the proposed estimator and show that leveraging source data can substantially improve estimation accuracy relative to the traditional single-study ridge-regularized robust estimator. Simulation results and a real-data analysis support the theory and illustrate both positive and negative transfer as the discrepancy between the source and target studies varies.
