Sorted $L_1$ penalization estimator (SLOPE) is a regularization technique for sorted absolute coefficients in high-dimensional regression. By arbitrarily setting its regularization weights $\lambda$ under the monotonicity constraint, SLOPE…
Selecting interactions from an ultrahigh-dimensional statistical model with $n$ observations and $p$ variables when $p\gg n$ is difficult because the number of candidates for interactions is $p(p-1)/2$ and a selected model should satisfy…

Regularization is widely used in statistics and machine learning to prevent overfitting and gear solution towards prior information. In general, a regularized estimation problem minimizes the sum of a loss function and a penalty term. The…
