These results are then used to show that the Lasso can be consistent in even very large models where the number of … regressors increases at an exponential rate in the sample size. Conditions under which the Lasso does not discard any relevant …

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...

Variable selection is a difficult problem in statistical model building. Identification of cost efficient diagnostic factors is very important to health researchers, but most variable selection methods do not take into account the cost of collecting data for the predictors. The trade off between...

The use of the multinomial logit model is typically restricted to applications with few predictors, because in high-dimensional settings maximum likelihood estimates tend to deteriorate. A sparsity-inducing penalty is proposed that accounts for the special structure of multinomial models by...

The choice of distribution is often made on the basis of how well the data appear to be fitted by the distribution. The inverse Gaussian distribution is one of the basic models for describing positively skewed data which arise in a variety of applications. In this paper, the problem of interest...

We propose the Bayesian adaptive Lasso (BaLasso) for variable selection and coefficient estimation in linear regression … hierarchical Bayesian interpretation of the Lasso. Our formulation also permits prediction using a model averaging strategy. We …

This paper establishes non-asymptotic oracle inequalities for the prediction error and estimation accuracy of the LASSO … in stationary vector autoregressive models. These inequalities are used to establish consistency of the LASSO even when … excluded. Next, non-asymptotic probabilities are given for the Adaptive LASSO to select the correct sign pattern (and hence the …

This paper consider penalized empirical loss minimization of convex loss functions with unknown non-linear target functions. Using the elastic net penalty we establish a finite sample oracle inequality which bounds the loss of our estimator from above with high probability. If the unknown target...

setting, several estimators such as the LASSO (Tibshirani, 1996) and the Dantzig Selector (Candes and Tao, 2007) are known to … satisfy interesting properties whenever the vector β∗ is sparse. Interestingly, both the LASSO and the Dantzig Selector can be … for the LASSO. For a well chosen s>0, this set is actually a confidence region for β∗. In this paper, we investigate the …
