Sparse covariance thresholding for high-dimensional variable selection
From MaRDI portal
Abstract: In high-dimensions, many variable selection methods, such as the lasso, are often limited by excessive variability and rank deficiency of the sample covariance matrix. Covariance sparsity is a natural phenomenon in high-dimensional applications, such as microarray analysis, image processing, etc., in which a large number of predictors are independent or weakly correlated. In this paper, we propose the covariance-thresholded lasso, a new class of regression methods that can utilize covariance sparsity to improve variable selection. We establish theoretical results, under the random design setting, that relate covariance sparsity to variable selection. Real-data and simulation examples indicate that our method can be useful in improving variable selection performances.
