For penalized models, model selection typically entails tuning hyperparameters to maximize a measure of fit or minimize out-of-sample prediction error. However, these criteria fail to reflect other desirable characteristics, such as model sparsity, interpretability, or smoothness. Results: We present the R package pared to enable the use of multi-objective optimization for model selection. Our approach entails the use of Gaussian process-based optimization to efficiently identify solutions that represent desirable trade-offs. Our implementation includes popular models with multiple objectives including the elastic net, fused lasso, fused graphical lasso, and group graphical lasso. Our R package generates interactive graphics that allow the user to identify hyperparameter values that result in fitted models which lie on the Pareto frontier. Availability: We provide the R package pared and vignettes illustrating its application to both simulated and real data at https://github.com/priyamdas2/pared.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2505.21730v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2505.21730v1.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":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"pared-model-selection-using-multi-objective","repo_url":"https://github.com/priyamdas2/pared","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"model-selection","task_name":"Model Selection"},{"task_slug":"model","task_name":"model"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
