Structured Lasso for convex nonparametric least squares: An application to Swedish electricity distribution networks
凸非参数最小二乘的结构化 Lasso:瑞典配电网络应用
We study the problem of variable selection in convex nonparametric least squares (CNLS). Whereas the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (Lasso) is a popular technique for least squares, its variable selection performance is unknown in CNLS problems. In this work, we investigate the performance of the Lasso estimator and find out it is usually unable to select variables efficiently. Exploiting the unique structure of the subgradients in CNLS, we develop a…
