Abstract/Description:
For a linear regression, the traditional technique deals with a case where the number of observations n more than the number of predictor variables p (n(>)p). In the case n(<)p, the classical method fails to estimate the coefficients. A solution of this problem in the case of correlated predictors is provided in this thesis. A new regularization and variable selection is proposed under the name of Sparse Ridge Fusion (SRF). In the case of highly correlated predictor , the simulated examples and a real data show that the SRF always outperforms the lasso, elastic net, and the S-Lasso, and the results show that the SRF selects more predictor variables than the sample size n while the maximum selected variables by lasso is n size.
