A data-driven and tuning free classification rule, which is based on an adaptive constrained $\ell_1$ minimization approach, is proposed and analyzed. Minimax lower bounds are obtained and this classification rule is shown to be simultaneously rate optimal over a collection of parameter spaces. In addition, we consider classification with incomplete data under the missing completely at random (MCR) model. An adaptive classifier with theoretical guarantees is introduced and optimal rate of convergence for high-dimensional linear discriminant analysis under the MCR model is established. The technical analysis for the case of missing data is much more challenging than that for the complete data. We establish a large deviation result for the generalized sample covariance matrix, which serves as a key technical tool and can be of independent interest. An application to lung cancer and leukemia studies is also discussed.
