Title

Variable Screening Methods for High-dimensional Feature Space

Speaker

Rui Song, Colorado State University

Abstract

High-dimension is an important feature of modern statistical applications, where the dimensionality of covariates is potentially much larger than sample size. Correlation screening (Fan and Lv, 2008) was established to be effective to reduce the dimension for such data while achieve the sure screening property for the linear models, that is, all the important variables can be retained with overwhelming probability. In this talk we will study several screening methods with high dimensional data. The sure screening property is established. Simulations and real data analysis demonstrate that proposed methods have very competitive performance.
