The elastic net combines lasso and ridge regression to fuse the sparsity property of lasso with the grouping property of ridge regression. The connections between ridge regression and gradient descent and between lasso and forward stagewise…
Variable selection plays an important role in the high-dimensional data analysis. However the high-dimensional data often induces the strongly correlated variables problem. In this paper, we propose Elastic Net procedure for partially…

In generalized linear regression problems with an abundant number of features, lasso-type regularization which imposes an $\ell^1$-constraint on the regression coefficients has become a widely established technique. Deficiencies of the…
We propose a robust elastic net (REN) model for high-dimensional sparse regression and give its performance guarantees (both the statistical error bound and the optimization bound). A simple idea of trimming the inner product is applied to…
Logistic regression is a standard method in multivariate analysis for binary outcome data in epidemiological and clinical studies; however, the resultant odds-ratio estimates fail to provide directly interpretable effect measures. The…
We propose a new 2-stage procedure that relies on the elastic net penalty to estimate a network based on partial correlations when data are heavy-tailed. The new estimator allows to consider the lasso penalty as a special case. Using Monte…
Shrinkage estimators that possess the ability to produce sparse solutions have become increasingly important to the analysis of today's complex datasets. Examples include the LASSO, the Elastic-Net and their adaptive counterparts.…
Feature selection is important in data representation and intelligent diagnosis. Elastic net is one of the most widely used feature selectors. However, the features selected are dependant on the training data, and their weights dedicated…

Learning in adversarial settings is becoming an important task for application domains where attackers may inject malicious data into the training set to subvert normal operation of data-driven technologies. Feature selection has been…
A robust and sparse estimator for multinomial regression is proposed for high dimensional data. Robustness of the estimator is achieved by trimming the observations, and sparsity of the estimator is obtained by the elastic net penalty,…
Modern variable selection procedures make use of penalization methods to execute simultaneous model selection and estimation. A popular method is the LASSO (least absolute shrinkage and selection operator), the use of which requires…
Complex network reconstruction is a hot topic in many fields. Currently, the most popular data-driven reconstruction framework is based on lasso. However, it is found that, in the presence of noise, lasso loses efficiency for weighted…

We consider the problem of model selection and estimation in situations where the number of parameters diverges with the sample size. When the dimension is high, an ideal method should have the oracle property [J. Amer. Statist. Assoc. 96…

We propose a computationally intensive method, the random lasso method, for variable selection in linear models. The method consists of two major steps. In step 1, the lasso method is applied to many bootstrap samples, each using a set of…
Regularized regression has become very popular nowadays, particularly on high-dimensional problems where the addition of a penalty term to the log-likelihood allows inference where traditional methods fail. A number of penalties have been…
