Abstract:The variable selection has been becoming a more and more important tool in dealing with big data. The goal of variable selection in regression analysis is to identify the smallest subset of the covariates that explains the data well. In this talk, all kinds of techniques for variable selection are reviewed, including stepwise regression, criteria-based subset selection, penalized likelihood shrinkage, and Bayesian strategy, etc. Some comparisons among them are made by simulation and a real example is presented to illustrate the procedure of Bayesian strategy.
