Description
Summary:In high-dimensional data analysis, main effects and interaction effects often coexist, especially when complex nonlinear relationships are present. Effective variable selection is crucial for avoiding the curse of dimensionality and enhancing the predictive performance of a model. In this paper, we introduce a nonlinear interaction structure into the additive quantile regression model and propose an innovative penalization method. This method considers the complexity and smoothness of the additive model and incorporates heredity constraints on main effects and interaction effects through an improved regularization algorithm under marginality principle. We also establish the asymptotic properties of the penalized estimator and provide the corresponding excess risk. Our Monte Carlo simulations illustrate the proposed model and method, which are then applied to the analysis of Parkinson’s disease rating scores and further verify the effectiveness of a novel Parkinson’s disease (PD) treatment.
