Divide-and-conquer information-based optimal subdata selection algorithm

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: The information-based optimal subdata selection (IBOSS) is a computationally efficient method to select informative data points from large data sets through processing full data by columns. However, when the volume of a data set is too large to be processed in the available memory of a machine, it is infeasible to implement the IBOSS procedure. This paper develops a divide-and-conquer IBOSS approach to solving this problem, in which the full data set is divided into smaller partitions to be loaded into the memory and then subsets of data are selected from each partitions using the IBOSS algorithm. We derive both finite sample properties and asymptotic properties of the resulting estimator. Asymptotic results show that if the full data set is partitioned randomly and the number of partitions is not very large, then the resultant estimator has the same estimation efficiency as the original IBOSS estimator. We also carry out numerical experiments to evaluate the empirical performance of the proposed method.
