Adaptive LASSO for Varying-Coefficient Partially Linear Measurement Error Models
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper extends the adaptive LASSO (ALASSO) for simultaneous parameter estimation and variable selection to a varying-coefficient partially linear model where some of the covariates are subject to measurement errors of an additive form. We draw comparisons with the SCAD, and prove that both the ALASSO and SCAD attain the oracle property under this setup. We further develop an algorithm in the spirit of LARS for finding the solution path of the ALASSO in practical applications. Finite sample properties of the proposed methods are examined in a simulation study, and a real data example based on the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Continuing Survey of Food Intakes by Individuals (CSFII) is considered.

Variable Inclusion and Shrinkage Algorithms
The Lasso is a popular and computationally efficient procedure for automatically performing both variable selection and coefficient shrinkage on linear regression models. One limitation of the Lasso is that the same tuning parameter is used for both variable selection and shrinkage. As a result, it typically ends up selecting a model with too many variables to prevent over shrinkage of the regr...
متن کاملThe adaptive and the thresholded Lasso for potentially misspecified models (and a lower bound for the Lasso)
Abstract: We revisit the adaptive Lasso as well as the thresholded Lasso with refitting, in a high-dimensional linear model, and study prediction error, lq-error (q ∈ {1, 2}), and number of false positive selections. Our theoretical results for the two methods are, at a rather fine scale, comparable. The differences only show up in terms of the (minimal) restricted and sparse eigenvalues, favor...
متن کاملInference of high-dimensional linear models with time-varying coefficients
We propose a pointwise inference algorithm for high-dimensional linear models with time-varying coefficients. The method is based on a novel combination of the nonparametric kernel smoothing technique and a Lasso bias-corrected ridge regression estimator. Due to the non-stationarity feature of the model, dynamic bias-variance decomposition of the estimator is obtained. With a bias-correction pr...
متن کاملVariable Selection in Nonparametric and Semiparametric Regression Models
This chapter reviews the literature on variable selection in nonparametric and semiparametric regression models via shrinkage. We highlight recent developments on simultaneous variable selection and estimation through the methods of least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (Lasso), smoothly clipped absolute deviation (SCAD) or their variants, but restrict our attention to nonparametric a...
متن کاملVariable Selection in High-dimensional Varying-coefficient Models with Global Optimality
The varying-coefficient model is flexible and powerful for modeling the dynamic changes of regression coefficients. It is important to identify significant covariates associated with response variables, especially for high-dimensional settings where the number of covariates can be larger than the sample size. We consider model selection in the high-dimensional setting and adopt difference conve...
