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 apply classical and Bayesian lasso regularizations to a family of models with the presence of mixture and process variables. We analyse the performance of these estimates with respect to ordinary least squares estimators by a simulation…

The LASSO is an attractive regularisation method for linear regression that combines variable selection with an efficient computation procedure. This paper is concerned with enhancing the performance of LASSO for square-free hierarchical…
