Abstract:Variable selection in count data using Penalized Poisson regression is one of the challenges in applying Poisson regression model when the explanatory variables are correlated. To tackle both estimate the coefficients and perform variable selection simultaneously, Lasso penalty was successfully applied in Poisson regression. However, Lasso has two major limitations. In the p > n case, the lasso selects at most n variables before it saturates, because of the nature of the convex optimization problem. This seems… Show more
