Abstract:

Among several variable selection methods, LASSO is the most desirable estimation procedure for handling regularization and variable selection simultaneously in the high-dimensional linear regression models when multicollinearity exists among the predictor variables. Since LASSO is unstable under high multicollinearity, the elastic-net (Enet) estimator has been used to overcome this issue. According to the literature, the estimation of regression parameters can be improved by adding prior information about regression coefficients to the model, which is available in the form of exact or stochastic linear restrictions. In this article, we proposed a stochastic restricted LASSO-type estimator (SRLASSO) by incorporating stochastic linear restrictions. Furthermore, we compared the performance of SRLASSO with LASSO and Enet in root mean square error (RMSE) criterion and mean absolute prediction error (MAPE) criterion based on a Monte Carlo simulation study. Finally, a real-world example was used to demonstrate the performance of SRLASSO.
