内容简介： We propose a variable
selection method for regression with high-dimensional predictors, which
does not rely on any regression model or predictor distribution. More
importantly, unlike many existing variable selection methods, which target the
mean of the response alone, the proposed method targets a set of attributes of
the response, such as its mean, its variance, or its entire distribution. The
proposed variable selector is based on a new statistical relation, called additive conditional independence, that
was introduced recently for graphical models (Li, Chun, and Zhao, 2013). We
establish the estimation consistency and convergence rate, as well as
variable-selection consistency of the proposed method. Through simulation
comparisons we demonstrate that our method performs better than several
existing methods when the predictor affects several attributes (such as mean
and variance) of the response, and performs competently in the classical
setting where the predictors affects the mean alone. We apply the new method to
a data set concerning how genetic traits affect the weights of female mice.
