It can effectively avoid the problems caused by the wrong setting of the model. In the variable selection based on Bayesian empirical likelihood, the penalty term is introduced into the model in the form of parameter prior. In this paper, we propose a novel variable selection method, L<sub>1/2</sub> regularization based on Bayesian empirical likelihood. The L<sub>1/2</sub> penalty is introduced into the model through a scale mixture of uniform representation of generalized Gaussian prior, and the posterior distribution is then sampled using MCMC method. Simulations demonstrate that the proposed method can have better predictive ability when the error violates the zero-mean normality assumption of the standard parameter model, and can perform variable selection.展开更多

The bound shows that the solutions of the L1/2 regularization can achieve a loss within logarithmic factor of an ideal mean squared error and therefore underlies the feasibility and effectiveness of the L1/2 regularization. Interestingly, when applied to compressive sensing, the L1/2 regularization scheme has exhibited a very promising capability of completed recovery from a much less sampling information. As compared with the Lp （0 〈 p 〈 1） penalty, it is appeared that the L1/2 penalty can always yield the most sparse solution among all the Lv penalty when 1/2 〈 p 〈 1, and when 0 〈 p 〈 1/2, the Lp penalty exhibits the similar properties as the L1/2 penalty. This suggests that the L1/2 regularization scheme can be accepted as the best and therefore the representative of all the Lp （0 〈 p 〈 1） regularization schemes.展开更多
