Variable Selection and Model Choice in Geoadditive Regression Models [PDF]
Model choice and variable selection are issues of major concern in practical regression analyses. We propose a boosting procedure that facilitates both tasks in a class of complex geoadditive regression models comprising spatial effects, nonparametric ...

A-DVM: A Self-Adaptive Variable Matrix Decision Variable Selection Scheme for Multimodal Problems
Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) is a Swarm Intelligence optimization algorithm well known for its versatility. The selection of decision variables to update is purely stochastic, incurring several issues to the local search capability of the ABC.

Multinomial Logit Models with Implicit Variable Selection [PDF]
Multinomial logit models which are most commonly used for the modeling of unordered multi-category responses are typically restricted to the use of few predictors. In the high-dimensional case maximum likelihood estimates frequently do not exist. In this

Application of variable selection and dimension reduction on predictors of MSE’s development
Nature create variables using its character component, and variables are sharing characters from a vary small to relatively large scale. This results, variables to have from a vary different to a more similar character, and leads to have a relation ship.

Variable selection in multivariate multiple regression.
IntroductionIn many practical situations, we are interested in the effect of covariates on correlated multiple responses. In this paper, we focus on estimation and variable selection in multi-response multiple regression models.

Identifying Plant Pentatricopeptide Repeat Proteins Using a Variable Selection Method
Motivation: Pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR), which is a triangular pentapeptide repeat domain, plays an important role in plant growth. Features extracted from sequences are applicable to PPR protein identification using certain classification methods ...

Group Variable Selection Methods with Quantile Regression: A Simulation Study. [PDF]
In many cases, covariates have a grouping structure that can be used in the analysis to identify important groups and the significant members of those groups. This paper reviews some group variable selection methods that utilize quantile regression.

Variable Selection Bias in Classification Trees Based on Imprecise Probabilities [PDF]
Classification trees based on imprecise probabilities provide an advancement of classical classification trees. The Gini Index is the default splitting criterion in classical classification trees, while in classification trees based on imprecise ...

Spectral variable selection for estimation of soil organic carbon content using mid-infrared spectroscopy [PDF]
The non-destructive and rapid estimation of soil total carbon (SOC) content with mid-infrared spectroscopy (MIR, 4000–400 cm−1) will play a vital role in precision agriculture.

Variable Selection in Multivariable Regression Using SAS/IML
This paper introduces a SAS/IML program to select among the multivariate model candidates based on a few well-known multivariate model selection criteria. Stepwise regression and all-possible-regression are considered.
