We consider the problem of estimating a sparse linear regression vector beta* under a Gaussian noise model, for the purpose of both prediction and model selection. We assume that prior knowledge is available on the sparsity pattern, namely the set of variables is partitioned into prescribed groups, only few of which are relevant in the estimation process. This group sparsity assumption suggests us to consider the Group Lasso method as a means to estimate beta*. We establish oracle inequalities for the prediction and l(2) estimation errors of this estimator. These bounds hold under a restricted eigenvalue condition on the design matrix. Under a stronger condition, we derive bounds for the estimation error for mixed (2, p)-norms with 1
