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...

A shrinkage type estimator is introduced which has favorable properties in binary regression. Although binary observations are never very far away from the underlying probability, in all interesting cases there is a non-zero distance between observation and underlying mean. The proposed response...
