Abstract
We present a unified framework for estimation and analysis of generalized additive models in high dimensions. The framework defines a large class of penalized regression estimators, encompassing many existing methods. An efficient computational algorithm for this class is presented that easily scales to thousands of observations and features. We prove minimax optimal convergence bounds for this class under a weak compatibility condition. In addition, we characterize the rate of convergence when this compatibility condition is not met. Finally, we also show that the optimal penalty parameters for structure and sparsity penalties in our framework are linked, allowing cross-validation to be conducted over only a single tuning parameter. We complement our theoretical results with empirical studies comparing some existing methods within this framework.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Machine Learning Research (JMLR) provides an international forum for the electronic and paper publication of high-quality scholarly articles in all areas of machine learning. All published papers are freely available online.
JMLR has a commitment to rigorous yet rapid reviewing.
JMLR seeks previously unpublished papers on machine learning that contain:
new principled algorithms with sound empirical validation, and with justification of theoretical, psychological, or biological nature;
experimental and/or theoretical studies yielding new insight into the design and behavior of learning in intelligent systems;
accounts of applications of existing techniques that shed light on the strengths and weaknesses of the methods;
formalization of new learning tasks (e.g., in the context of new applications) and of methods for assessing performance on those tasks;
development of new analytical frameworks that advance theoretical studies of practical learning methods;
computational models of data from natural learning systems at the behavioral or neural level; or extremely well-written surveys of existing work.
