In regression with a vector of quantitative predictors, sufficient dimension reduction methods can effectively reduce the predictor dimension, while preserving full regression information and assuming no parametric model. However, all current reduction methods require the sample size n to be...

Existing sufficient dimension reduction methods suffer from the fact that each dimension reduction component is a linear combination of all the original predictors, so that it is difficult to interpret the resulting estimates. We propose a unified estimation strategy, which combines a...

The penalized least squares approach with smoothly clipped absolute deviation penalty has been consistently demonstrated to be an attractive regression shrinkage and selection method. It not only automatically and consistently selects the important variables, but also produces estimators which...

In this paper, we propose a penalised pseudo-partial likelihood method for variable selection with multivariate failure time data with a growing number of regression coefficients. Under certain regularity conditions, we show the consistency and asymptotic normality of the penalised likelihood...
