By: Bühlmann, Peter [author.].
Contributor(s): van de Geer, Sara [author.] | SpringerLink (Online service).
Material type: materialTypeLabelBookSeries: Springer Series in Statistics: Publisher: Berlin, Heidelberg : Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2011Description: XVIII, 558 p. online resource.Content type: text Media type: computer Carrier type: online resourceISBN: 9783642201929.Subject(s): Statistics | Computer science | Mathematical statistics | Statistics | Statistical Theory and Methods | Probability and Statistics in Computer ScienceDDC classification: 519.5 Online resources: Click here to access online
Contents:
Introduction -- Lasso for linear models -- Generalized linear models and the Lasso -- The group Lasso -- Additive models and many smooth univariate functions -- Theory for the Lasso -- Variable selection with the Lasso -- Theory for l1/l2-penalty procedures -- Non-convex loss functions and l1-regularization -- Stable solutions -- P-values for linear models and beyond -- Boosting and greedy algorithms -- Graphical modeling -- Probability and moment inequalities -- Author Index -- Index -- References -- Problems at the end of each chapter.
In: Springer eBooksSummary: Modern statistics deals with large and complex data sets, and consequently with models containing a large number of parameters. This book presents a detailed account of recently developed approaches, including the Lasso and versions of it for various models, boosting methods, undirected graphical modeling, and procedures controlling false positive selections. A special characteristic of the book is that it contains comprehensive mathematical theory on high-dimensional statistics combined with methodology, algorithms and illustrations with real data examples. This in-depth approach highlights the methods’ great potential and practical applicability in a variety of settings. As such, it is a valuable resource for researchers, graduate students and experts in statistics, applied mathematics and computer science.
