Regularized reduced rank regression for mixed predictor and response variables
Abstract In this paper, we introduce the Generalized Mixed Regularized Reduced Rank Regression model (GMR4), an extension of the GMR3 model designed to improve performance in high‐dimensional settings. GMR3 is a regression method for a mix of numeric, binary and ordinal response variables, while also allowing for mixed‐type predictors through optimal ...
