Sparse Learning Algorithms Using a LASSO-Type Penalty for
Coefficient Estimation and Model Prediction
Description
Coefficient estimation and model prediction based on the LASSO sparse
learning algorithm and its improved versions such as Bolasso, bootstrap ranking
LASSO, two-stage hybrid LASSO and others. These LASSO estimation procedures are
applied in the fields of variable selection, graphical modeling and ensemble
learning. The bagging LASSO model uses a Monte Carlo cross-entropy algorithm to
determine the best base-level models and improve predictive performance.
