This volume of the Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science (EPTCS) contains extended abstracts of talks to be presented at the Seventh International Conference on Computability and Complexity in Analysis (CCA 2010) that will take place
in Zhenjiang, China, June 21-25, 2010. This conference is the seventeenth event in the series of CCA annual meetings. The CCA conferences are aimed at promoting the study and advancement of the theory of computability and complexity over real-valued data and its application.
We propose the variable selection procedure incorporating prior constraint information into lasso. The proposed procedure combines the sample and prior information, and selects significant variables for responses in a narrower region where the true p
arameters lie. It increases the efficiency to choose the true model correctly. The proposed procedure can be executed by many constrained quadratic programming methods and the initial estimator can be found by least square or Monte Carlo method. The proposed procedure also enjoys good theoretical properties. Moreover, the proposed procedure is not only used for linear models but also can be used for generalized linear models({sl GLM}), Cox models, quantile regression models and many others with the help of Wang and Leng (2007)s LSA, which changes these models as the approximation of linear models. The idea of combining sample and prior constraint information can be also used for other modified lasso procedures. Some examples are used for illustration of the idea of incorporating prior constraint information in variable selection procedures.
