Stochastic Stepwise Ensembles for Variable Selection

摘要

In this article, we advocate the ensemble approach for variable selection. We point out that the stochastic mechanism used to generate the variable-selection ensemble (VSE) must be picked with care. We construct a VSE using a stochastic stepwise algorithm and compare its performance with numerous state-of-the-art algorithms. Supplemental materials for the article are available online.View full textDownload full textKey WordsFalse negative rate, False positive rate, LASSO, Ranking, Stochastic search, Strength-diversity tradeoffRelated var addthis_config = { ui_cobrand: "Taylor & Francis Online", services_compact: "citeulike,netvibes,twitter,technorati,delicious,linkedin,facebook,stumbleupon,digg,google,more", pubid: "ra-4dff56cd6bb1830b" }; Add to shortlist Link Permalink http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/10618600.2012.679223
