We introduce a sparse high-dimensional regression approach that can incorporate prior information on the regression parameters and can borrow information across a set of similar datasets. Prior information may for instance come from…

Sparse additive modeling is a class of effective methods for performing high-dimensional nonparametric regression. In this work we show how shape constraints such as convexity/concavity and their extensions, can be integrated into additive…
