A common problem in the big data era is how to deal with a large number of predictors. In some cases the number of predictors can be larger than the sample size, thus making it impossible to fit classical models, such as least squares, without doing some variable selection.
Topics discussed in this Workshop will include:
- Variable screening
- Methods for balancing fit and model size (AIC, BIC, cross-validation)
- Penalized regression
