The Lasso has become a benchmark data analysis procedure, and numerous variants have been proposed in the literature. Although the Lasso formulations are stated so that overall prediction error is optimized, no full control over the…
We consider estimation in a high-dimensional linear model with strongly correlated variables. We propose to cluster the variables first and do subsequent sparse estimation such as the Lasso for cluster-representatives or the group Lasso…
The problem of sparse linear regression is relevant in the context of linear system identification from large datasets. When data are collected from real-world experiments, measurements are always affected by perturbations or low-precision…
We introduce c-lasso, a Python package that enables sparse and robust linear regression and classification with linear equality constraints. The underlying statistical forward model is assumed to be of the following form: \[ y = X \beta +…

For high-dimensional omics data, sparsity-inducing regularization methods such as the Lasso are widely used and often yield strong predictive performance, even in settings when the assumption of sparsity is likely violated. We demonstrate…

The popular Lasso approach for sparse estimation can be derived via marginalization of a joint density associated with a particular stochastic model. A different marginalization of the same probabilistic model leads to a different…
