Extreme Gradient Boosting Combined with Conformal Predictors for Informative Solubility Estimation
We used the extreme gradient boosting (XGB) algorithm to predict the experimental solubility of chemical compounds in water and organic solvents and to select significant molecular descriptors.

Examining variable selection methods for the predictive performance of regression models and the proportion of selected variables and selected random variables [PDF]
The selection of a descriptor, X, is crucial for improving the interpretation and prediction accuracy of a regression model. In this study, the prediction accuracy of models constructed using the selected X was determined and the results of variable selection, according to the number of selected X and number of selected variables that are unrelated to ...

Effectiveness of Variable Selection Methods for Machine Learning and Classical Statistical Models
In line with new international financial supervision directives (IFRS9), banks should look at a new set of analytical tools, such as machine learning. The introduction of these methods into banking practice requires reformulation of business goals, both

Combining Variable Selection and Multiple Linear Regression for Soil Organic Matter and Total [PDF]
The successful estimation of soil organic matter (SOM) and soil total nitrogen (TN) contents with mid-infrared (MIR) reflectance spectroscopy depends on selecting appropriate variable selection techniques and multivariate methods for regression analysis.

Two-step variable selection in quantile regression models
We propose a two-step variable selection procedure for high dimensional quantile regressions, in which the dimension of the covariates, pn is much larger than the sample size n.

Combining Quadratic Penalization and Variable Selection via Forward Boosting [PDF]
Quadratic penalties can be used to incorporate external knowledge about the association structure among regressors. Unfortunately, they do not enforce single estimated regression coefficients to equal zero.
