Overview
Many modern scientific investigations require the analysis of high
dimensional data. Examples include genomic and proteomic data, spatial-temporal
data, network data, and many others. Simultaneous variable selection
and parameter estimation play a central role in such investigations.
There is now an immense literature on variable selection, and penalized
regression methods are becoming increasingly popular. Much new development
has been published in recent years by leading statistical journals.
