Rejoinder to “A Significance Test for the Lasso”

چکیده
We would like to thank the editors and referees for their considerable efforts that improved our paper, and all of the discussants for their feedback, and their thoughtful and stimulating comments. Linear models are central in applied statistics, and inference for adaptive linear modeling is an important active area of research. Our paper is clearly not the last word on the subject! Several of the discussants introduce novel proposals for this problem; in fact, many of the discussions are interesting “mini-papers” on their own, and we will not attempt to reply to all of the points that they raise. Our hope is that our paper and the excellent accompanying discussions will serve as a helpful resource for researchers interested in this topic. Since the writing of our original paper, we have (with many our of graduate students) extended the work considerably. Before responding to the discussants, we will first summarize this new work because it will be relevant to our responses.

Penalized Lasso Methods in Health Data: application to trauma and influenza data of Kerman
Background: Two main issues that challenge model building are number of Events Per Variable and multicollinearity among exploratory variables. Our aim is to review statistical methods that tackle these issues with emphasize on penalized Lasso regression model. The present study aimed to explain problems of traditional regressions due to small sample size and m...
متن کاملDiscussion : “ a Significance Test for the Lasso ”
1. A short description of the test procedure. We start by presenting the proposed test procedure in a slightly different form than in the paper. Let β̂(λ) := arg min 2‖y −Xβ‖2 + λ‖β‖1 be the Lasso estimator with tuning parameter equal to λ. The paper uses the Lasso path {β̂(λ) :λ > 0} to construct a test statistic for the significance of certain predictor variables. For a subset S ⊆ {1, . . . , p...

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 ...
متن کاملA Significance Test for the Lasso.
In the sparse linear regression setting, we consider testing the significance of the predictor variable that enters the current lasso model, in the sequence of models visited along the lasso solution path. We propose a simple test statistic based on lasso fitted values, called the covariance test statistic, and show that when the true model is linear, this statistic has an Exp(1) asymptotic dis...
