Dimitris Bertsimas, Martin S. Copenhaver, Rahul Mazumder

摘要:

线性回归稀疏建模的非凸罚方法是近年来研究的热点。在这里,我们研究了一个家庭的非凸罚函数,我们称之为修剪套索,并提供了精确的控制所需的稀疏估计水平。我们分析了它的结构性质,并在这样做表明:1)绘制之间的相似性鲁棒统计和鲁棒优化,我们表明,修剪Lasso正则化最小二乘问题可以被看作是一个广义形式的总最小二乘在一个特定的模型的不确定性。相比之下,通过鲁棒优化透镜观察的相同的不确定性模型导致凸SLOPE(或OWL)惩罚。2)此外,在有关修剪的套索常用的稀疏诱导罚函数,我们提供了一个简洁的特征之间的连接修剪的Lasso样的方法和罚函数是坐标方式可分离的,表明修剪的处罚suburbs现有的坐标方式可分离的处罚,严格的遏制一般。3)最后,我们描述了各种精确和启发式算法,现有的和新的,修剪Lasso正则化估计问题。我们包括不同的方法和相应的算法实现之间的比较。

英文摘要:

Nonconvex penalty methods for sparse modeling in linear regression have been a topic of fervent interest in recent years. Herein, we study a family of nonconvex penalty functions that we call the trimmed Lasso and that offers exact control over the desired level of sparsity of estimators. We analyze its structural properties and in doing so show the following: 1) Drawing parallels between robust statistics and robust optimization, we show that the trimmed-Lasso-regularized least squares problem can be viewed as a generalized form of total least squares under a specific model of uncertainty. In contrast, this same model of uncertainty, viewed instead through a robust optimization lens, leads to the convex SLOPE (or OWL) penalty. 2) Further, in relating the trimmed Lasso to commonly used sparsity-inducing penalty functions, we provide a succinct characterization of the connection between trimmed-Lasso- like approaches and penalty functions that are coordinate-wise separable, showing that the trimmed penalties subsume existing coordinate-wise separable penalties, with strict containment in general. 3) Finally, we describe a variety of exact and heuristic algorithms, both existing and new, for trimmed Lasso regularized estimation problems. We include a comparison between the different approaches and an accompanying implementation of the algorithms.
