Rank-Based Methods for Shrinkage and Selection. A. K. Md. Ehsanes SalehЧитать онлайн книгу.
estimates and selects variables, it does not possess “oracle properties” in general. To overcome this problem Fan and Li (2001) proposed the “smoothly clipped absolute deviation” (SCAD) penalty function. Following Fan and Li (2001), Zou (2006) modified LASSO using a weighted L1-penalty function. Zou (2006) called this estimator an adaptive LASSO (aLASSO). Later, Zhang (2010) suggested a minimax concave penalty (MCP) estimator. All results found in the above literature are based on penalized least squares criterion.
This book contains a thorough study of rank-based estimation with three basic penalty estimators, namely, ridge regression, LASSO and “elastic net”. It also includes preliminary test and Stein-type R-estimators for completeness. Efforts are made to present a clear and balanced introduction of rank-based estimators with mathematical comparisons of the properties of various estimators considered. The book is directed towards graduate students, researchers of statistics, economics, bio-statistical biologists and for all applied statisticians, economists and computer scientists and data scientists, among others. The literature is very limited in the area of robust penalty and other shrinkage estimators in the context of rank-based estimation. Here, we provide both theoretical and practical aspects of the subject matter.
The book is spread over twelve chapters. Chapter 1 begins with an introductory examination of the median, outliers and robust rank-based methods, along with a brief look at penalty estimators. Chapter 2 continues with the characteristics of rank-based penalty estimators and demonstrates their enormous value in machine learning. Chapter 3 provides the preliminaries of rank-based theory and various aspects of it, along with a description of penalty estimators, which are then applied to location and simple linear models. Chapters 4 deals with ANOVA and Chapter 5 with seemingly unrelated simple linear models. Chapter 6 considers the multiple linear model and Chapter 7 expands on the “partially linear regression model” (PLM). The Liu regression estimator is discussed in Chapter 8. Chapter 9 introduces the AR(p) model. Chapter 10 covers selection and shrinkage of variables in high-dimensional data analysis. Chapter 11 deals with multivariate rank-based logistic regression models. Finally, Chapter 12 concludes with applications of rank-based neural networks.
To our knowledge, this is one of the first books to combine advanced statistical analysis with advanced machine learning. Each chapter is self-contained but those interested in machine learning may consider Chapters 1 and 2, and 11 and 12, while those interested in statistics may consider Chapters 3–10. A good mix of the two would be derived from Chapters 1–4 and 11 and 12. It is our hope that readers in both fields will find something of value, and that it will lead to many areas of future research.
The authors wish to thank the developers of Rfit (Kloke and McKean, 2012) and glmnet (Stanford University) which are extremely useful packages for R-estimation and penalized maximum likelihood estimation, respectively. We also thank Professor Brent Johnson (University of Rochester) for the rank-based LASSO and aLASSO code (Johnson and Peng, 2008) provided on his website.
