Differenced-Based Double Shrinking in Partial Linear Models

Partial linear model is very flexible when the relation between the covariates and responses, either parametric and nonparametric. However, estimation of the regression coefficients is challenging since one must also estimate the nonparametric component simultaneously. As a remedy, the differencing approach, to eliminate the nonparametric component and estimate the regression coefficients, can ...

A modified principal component technique based on the LASSO

Discussion Of: a Statistical Analysis of Multiple Temperature Proxies: Are Reconstructions of Surface Temperatures over the Last 1000 Years

Professors McShane and Wyner have written a thought-provoking paper that intends to challenge some of the conventional wisdom in the paleoclimate literature. Rather than commenting on the merits of the entire methodology we focus on one topic. Namely, we discuss theoretical and practical aspects of the use of the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator [Tibshirani (1996)], more popularl...

Performance of Tunisian Public Hospitals: A Comparative Assessment Using the Pabón Lasso Model

Background and Objectives: Constant monitoring of healthcare organizations’ performance is an integral part of informed health policy-making. Several hospital performance assessment methods have been proposed in the literature. Pabon Lasso Model offers a fast and convenient method for comparative evaluation of hospital performance. This study aimed to evaluate the relative performance of hospit...

Studying the Impact of Water Supply on Wheat Yield by using Principle Lasso Radial Machine Learning Model

Wheat plays a vital role in the food production as it fulfills 60% requirements of calories and proteins to the 35% of the world population. Owing to wheat importance in food, wheat demand is increasing continuously. Wheat yield is committed to the availability of water supply. Due to climatic and environmental variations of different countries, water supply is not available in constant and des...
