This article reviews the literature on sparse high-dimensional models and discusses some applications in economics and finance. Recent developments in theory, methods, and implementations in penalized least-squares and penalized likelihood methods are highlighted. These variable selection...

High-dimensional data analysis has motivated a spectrum of regularization methods for variable selection and sparse modeling, with two popular methods being convex and concave ones. A long debate has taken place on whether one class dominates the other, an important question both in theory and...

We propose a new algorithm, DASSO, for fitting the entire coefficient path of the Dantzig selector with a similar computational cost to the least angle regression algorithm that is used to compute the lasso. DASSO efficiently constructs a piecewise linear path through a sequential simplex-like...

Variable selection plays an important role in high dimensional statistical modelling which nowadays appears in many areas and is key to various scientific discoveries. For problems of large scale or dimensionality "p", accuracy of estimation and computational cost are two top concerns. Recently,...

High dimensionality comparable to sample size is common in many statistical problems. We examine covariance matrix estimation in the asymptotic framework that the dimensionality p tends to [infinity] as the sample size n increases. Motivated by the Arbitrage Pricing Theory in finance, a...

An aggregated method of nonparametric estimators based on time-domain and state-domain estimators is proposed and studied. To attenuate the curse of dimensionality, we propose a factor modeling strategy. We first investigate the asymptotic behavior of nonparametric estimators of the volatility...

Current regression models for interval-valued data do not guarantee that the predicted lower bound of the interval is always smaller than its upper bound. We propose a constrained regression model that preserves the natural order of the interval in all instances, either for in-sample fitted...
