An efficient implicit enumeration algorithm is proposed for the problem of selecting subsets of predictor variables in a multiple linear regression model using the minimum sum of weighted absolute errors (MSWAE) criterion. The proposed algorithm is illustrated with an example. Computational experience shows that the proposed algorithm is superior to the currently available algorithm in terms of computation time and the number of iterations required to solve a problem.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
