In this paper, we investigate several variable selection procedures to give an overview of the existing literature for practitioners. 'Let the data speak for themselves' has become the motto of many applied researchers since the number of data has significantly grown. Automatic model selection...

In this paper we show the validity of the adaptive LASSO procedure in estimating stationary ARDL(p,q) models with GARCH … innovations. We show that, given a set of initial weights, the adaptive Lasso selects the relevant variables with probability … variables beforehand. Finally, we show that the LASSO estimator can be used to construct the initial weights. The performance of …

A new regularization method for regression models is proposed. The criterion to be minimized contains a penalty term which explicitly links strength of penalization to the correlation between predictors. As the elastic net, the method encourages a grouping effect where strongly correlated...

Applying nonparametric variable selection criteria in nonlinear regression models generally requires a substantial computational effort if the data set is large. In this paper we present a selection technique that is computationally much less demanding and performs well in comparison with...

We compare the performance of six classes of models at forecasting di↵erent types of economic series in an extensive pseudo out-of-sample exercise. Our findings can be summarized in a few points: (i) Regularized Data-Rich Model Averaging techniques are hard to beat in general and are the best...

This paper investigates the asymptotic properties of a penalized empirical likelihood estimator for moment restriction models when the number of parameters ( p n ) and/or the number of moment restrictions increases with the sample size. Our main result is that the SCAD-penalized empirical...

A data-driven optimal decomposition of time series with trend-cyclical and seasonal components as well as the estimation of derivatives of the trend-cyclical is considered. The time series is smoothed by locally weighted regression with polynomials and trigonometric functions as local...
