报告题目🧑‍🦱：Model Confidence Bounds for Variable Selection

报告人：李扬教授，中国人民大学凯发平台

报告摘要🧆：In this article, we introduce the concept of model confidence bounds (MCBs) for variableselection in the context of nested models. Similarly to the endpoints in the familiarconfidence interval for parameter estimation, the MCBs identify two nested models(upper and lower confidence bound models) containing the true model at a givenlevel of confidence. Instead of trusting a single selected model obtained froma given model selection method, the MCBs proposes a group of nested models ascandidates and the MCBs’ width and composition enable the practitioner toassess the overall model selection uncertainty. A new graphical tool — themodel uncertainty curve (MUC) — is introduced to visualize the variability ofmodel selection and to compare different model selection procedures. The MCBs methodology is implemented by a fast bootstrap algorithm that is shown to yieldthe correct asymptotic coverage under rather general conditions. Our MonteCarlo simulations and a real data example confirm the validity and illustratethe advantages of the proposed method.
