Using the Delta Test for Variable Selection
نویسندگان
چکیده
Input selection is an important consideration in all large-scale modelling problems. We propose that using an established noise variance estimator known as the Delta test as the target to minimise can provide an effective input selection methodology. Theoretical justifications and experimental results are presented.

متن کاملMultistart Strategy Using Delta Test for Variable Selection
Proper selection of variables is necessary when dealing with large number of input dimensions in regression problems. In the paper, we investigate the behaviour of landscape that is formed when using Delta test as the optimization criterion. We show that simple and greedy Forward-backward selection procedure with multiple restarts gives optimal results for data sets with large number of samples...
متن کاملModel Selection for Mixture Models Using Perfect Sample
We have considered a perfect sample method for model selection of finite mixture models with either known (fixed) or unknown number of components which can be applied in the most general setting with assumptions on the relation between the rival models and the true distribution. It is, both, one or neither to be well-specified or mis-specified, they may be nested or non-nested. We consider mixt...

In this paper, a global methodology for variable selection is presented. This methodology is optimizing the Nonparametric Noise Estimation (NNE) provided by Delta Test. The 3 steps of the methodology are Variable Selection (VS), Scaling and Projection. The methodology is applies to two examples: the Boston Housing database and a financial data set. It is shown that the proposed methodology prov...
متن کاملA variable selection approach based on the Delta Test for Extreme Learning Machine models
Extreme Learning Machine, ELM, is a newly available learning algorithm for single layer feedforward neural networks (SLFNs), and it has proved to show the best compromise between learning speed and accuracy of the estimations. In this paper, a methodology based on Optimal-Pruned ELM (OP-ELM) for function approximation enhanced with variable selection using the Delta Test is introduced. The leas...
