DPP-VSE: Constructing a variable selection ensemble by determinantal point processes

作者:

Highlights:

• A novel method DPP-VSE is designed to construct good variable selection ensembles.

• Discrete DPPs are utilized to infer a probability distribution of model size.

• A sample from the distribution specifies the number of variables selected by each member.

• The simulated and real experiments are conducted to study DPP-VSE’s performance.

• DPP-VSE outperforms its rivals in most cases and has fewer parameters to specify.
