大规模凸回归问题的并行算法

A Parallel Method for Large Scale Convex Regression Problems

Necdet Serhat Aybat, Zi Wang

摘要:

凸回归(CR)问题处理的是将凸函数拟合到有限数量的观测值。它在各种学科中有许多应用,如统计学、经济学、运筹学和电气工程。通过求解二次规划(QP)来计算最小二乘(LS)估计是将分段线性凸函数拟合到观测数据的最常用技术。由于QP公式中的约束数量在N(观察到的数据点的数量)中二次增加,因此当N非常大时,使用内点方法计算LS估计量是不实际的。本文提出的一阶方法通过并行化来管理内存的使用,有效地解决了大规模的CR实例。

英文摘要:

Convex regression (CR) problem deals with fitting a convex function to a finite number of observations. It has many applications in various disciplines, such as statistics, economics, operations research, and electrical engineering. Computing the least squares (LS) estimator via solving a quadratic program (QP) is the most common technique to fit a piecewise-linear convex function to the observed data. Since the number of constraints in the QP formulation increases quadratically in N, the number of observed data points, computing the LS estimator is not practical using interior point methods when N is very large. The first-order method proposed in this paper carefully manages the memory usage through parallelization, and efficiently solves large-scale instances of CR.
