Abstract
We propose regularization methods for linear models based on the -likelihood, which is a generalization of the log-likelihood using a power function. Some heavy-tailed distributions are known as -normal distributions. We find that the proposed methods for linear models with -normal errors coincide with the regularization methods that are applied to the normal linear model. The proposed methods work well and efficiently, and can be computed using existing packages. We examine the proposed methods using numerical experiments, showing that the methods perform well, even when the error is heavy-tailed.
