Modern applications require methods that are computationally feasible on large datasets but also preserve statistical efficiency. Frequently, these two concerns are seen as contradictory: approximation methods that enable computation are assumed to degrade statistical performance relative to exact methods. In applied mathematics, where much of the current theoretical work on approximation resides, the inputs are considered to be observed exactly. The prevailing philosophy is that while the exact problem is, regrettably, unsolvable, any approximation should be as small as possible. However, from a statistical perspective, an approximate or regularized solution may be preferable to the exact one. Regularization formalizes a trade-off between fidelity to the data and adherence to prior knowledge about the data-generating process such as smoothness or sparsity. The resulting estimator tends to be more useful, interpretable, and suitable as an input to other methods. In this paper, we propose new methodology for estimation and prediction under a linear model borrowing insights from the approximation literature. We explore these procedures from a statistical perspective and find that in many cases they improve both computational and statistical performance.

Model fitting often aims to fit a single model, assuming that the imposed form of the model is correct. However, there may be multiple possible underlying explanatory patterns in a set of predictors that could explain a response. Model selection with
out regarding model uncertainty can fail to bring these patterns to light. We present multi-model penalized regression (MMPR) to acknowledge model uncertainty in the context of penalized regression. In the penalty form explored here, we examine how different settings can promote either shrinkage or sparsity of coefficients in separate models. The method is tuned to explicitly limit model similarity. A choice of penalty form that enforces variable selection is applied to predict stacking fault energy (SFE) from steel alloy composition. The aim is to identify multiple models with different subsets of covariates that explain a single type of response.
Quadratic regression goes beyond the linear model by simultaneously including main effects and interactions between the covariates. The problem of interaction estimation in high dimensional quadratic regression has received extensive attention in the
past decade. In this article we introduce a novel method which allows us to estimate the main effects and interactions separately. Unlike existing methods for ultrahigh dimensional quadratic regressions, our proposal does not require the widely used heredity assumption. In addition, our proposed estimates have explicit formulas and obey the invariance principle at the population level. We estimate the interactions of matrix form under penalized convex loss function. The resulting estimates are shown to be consistent even when the covariate dimension is an exponential order of the sample size. We develop an efficient ADMM algorithm to implement the penalized estimation. This ADMM algorithm fully explores the cheap computational cost of matrix multiplication and is much more efficient than existing penalized methods such as all pairs LASSO. We demonstrate the promising performance of our proposal through extensive numerical studies.
We consider penalized regression models under a unified framework where the particular method is determined by the form of the penalty term. We propose a fully Bayesian approach that incorporates both sparse and dense settings and show how to use a t
ype of model averaging approach to eliminate the nuisance penalty parameters and perform inference through the marginal posterior distribution of the regression coefficients. We establish tail robustness of the resulting estimator as well as conditional and marginal posterior consistency. We develop an efficient component-wise Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm for sampling. Numerical results show that the method tends to select the optimal penalty and performs well in both variable selection and prediction and is comparable to, and often better than alternative methods. Both simulated and real data examples are provided.
We introduce a new approach to a linear-circular regression problem that relates multiple linear predictors to a circular response. We follow a modeling approach of a wrapped normal distribution that describes angular variables and angular distributi
ons and advances it for a linear-circular regression analysis. Some previous works model a circular variable as projection of a bivariate Gaussian random vector on the unit square, and the statistical inference of the resulting model involves complicated sampling steps. The proposed model treats circular responses as the result of the modulo operation on unobserved linear responses. The resulting model is a mixture of multiple linear-linear regression models. We present two EM algorithms for maximum likelihood estimation of the mixture model, one for a parametric model and another for a non-parametric model. The estimation algorithms provide a great trade-off between computation and estimation accuracy, which was numerically shown using five numerical examples. The proposed approach was applied to a problem of estimating wind directions that typically exhibit complex patterns with large variation and circularity.
Field observations form the basis of many scientific studies, especially in ecological and social sciences. Despite efforts to conduct such surveys in a standardized way, observations can be prone to systematic measurement errors. The removal of syst
ematic variability introduced by the observation process, if possible, can greatly increase the value of this data. Existing non-parametric techniques for correcting such errors assume linear additive noise models. This leads to biased estimates when applied to generalized linear models (GLM). We present an approach based on residual functions to address this limitation. We then demonstrate its effectiveness on synthetic data and show it reduces systematic detection variability in moth surveys.
