The method is referred to as the broken adaptive ridge (BAR) estimator, which is an approximation of the $L_0$-penalized regression by iteratively performing reweighted squared $L_2$-penalized regression. The generalized partly linear model extends the generalized linear model by including a non-parametric component to construct a flexible model for modeling various types of covariate effects. We employ the Bernstein polynomials as the sieve space to approximate the non-parametric functions so that our method can be implemented easily using the existing R packages. Extensive simulation studies suggest that the proposed method performs better than other commonly used penalty-based variable selection methods. We apply the method to the CATHGEN data with a binary response from a coronary artery disease study, which motivated our research, and obtained new findings in both high-dimensional genetic and low-dimensional non-genetic covariates.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2311.00210v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2311.00210v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"broken-adaptive-ridge-method-for-variable","repo_url":"https://github.com/chrischan94/gplm-bar","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
