Abstract:

In this work we present a novel framework for multivariate regression based on the use of the minimum function as a penalty which simultaneously learns the relationships between responses while estimating regression coefficients. The approach uses a novel L2 penalty which The algorithms we propose for both least squares and binomial logistic regression use an iterative approach that is a generalization from other works that try to find groups of coefficients in regression. We present theoretical insights on high dimensional consistency, model selection consistency, and post-selection inference. To show the impact of the proposed methodology we present examples in the fields of genetics and substance abuse/misuse.
