Keywords: model selection ; localized model selection ; cross validation
Abstract:

Traditional model selection theory and practice focus on selecting a single one that is deemed the best in a global sense. In high dimensional or complex data situations, when very distinct learning procedures are considered, it is often the case that the candidates perform differently in ranking in different regions. This motivates localized model selection that allows more flexibility to improve over the global model selection strategy. In this talk, we will focus on localized cross validation. Our goal is to select adaptively the procedure that performs the best locally among the candidate regression procedures. Theoretical and empirical results will be provided.
