Focusing on a high dimensional linear model y = Xβ + ϵ with dependent, non-stationary, and heteroskedastic errors, this paper applies the debiased and threshold ridge regression method that gives a consistent estimator for linear combinations of β; and derives a Gaussian approximation theorem for the estimator. Besides, it proposes a dependent wild bootstrap algorithm to construct the estimator's confidence intervals and perform hypothesis testing. Numerical experiments on the proposed estimator and the bootstrap algorithm show that they have favorable finite sample performance. Research on a high dimensional linear model with dependent(non-stationary) errors is sparse, and our work should bring some new insights to this field.
