Least absolute deviations (LAD), also known as least absolute errors (LAE), least absolute residuals (LAR), or least absolute values (LAV), is a statistical optimality criterion and a statistical optimization technique based on minimizing the sum of absolute deviations (also sum of absolute residuals or sum of absolute errors) or the L1 norm of such values. It is analogous to the least squares technique, except that it is based on absolute values instead of squared values. It attempts to find a function which closely approximates a set of data by minimizing residuals between points generated by the function and corresponding data points. The LAD estimate also arises as the maximum likelihood estimate if the errors have a Laplace distribution. It was introduced in 1757 by Roger Joseph Boscovich.
Suppose that the data set consists of the points (xi, yi) with i = 1, 2, ..., n. We want to find a function f such that
To attain this goal, we suppose that the function f is of a particular form containing some parameters that need to be determined. For instance, the simplest form would be linear: f(x) = bx + c, where b and c are parameters whose values are not known but which we would like to estimate. Less simply, suppose that f(x) is quadratic, meaning that f(x) = ax2 + bx + c, where a, b and c are not yet known. (More generally, there could be not just one explanator x, but rather multiple explanators, all appearing as arguments of the function f.)
We now seek estimated values of the unknown parameters that minimize the sum of the absolute values of the residuals:
Though the idea of least absolute deviations regression is just as straightforward as that of least squares regression, the least absolute deviations line is not as simple to compute efficiently. Unlike least squares regression, least absolute deviations regression does not have an analytical solving method. Therefore, an iterative approach is required. The following is an enumeration of some least absolute deviations solving methods.

En statistiques, en économétrie et en apprentissage automatique, un modèle de régression linéaire est un modèle de régression qui cherche à établir une relation linéaire entre une variable, dite expliquée, et une ou plusieurs variables, dites explicatives. On parle aussi de modèle linéaire ou de modèle de régression linéaire. Parmi les modèles de régression linéaire, le plus simple est l'ajustement affine. Celui-ci consiste à rechercher la droite permettant d'expliquer le comportement d'une variable statistique y comme étant une fonction affine d'une autre variable statistique x.
In mathematics and statistics, deviation is a measure of difference between the observed value of a variable and some other value, often that variable's mean. The sign of the deviation reports the direction of that difference (the deviation is positive when the observed value exceeds the reference value). The magnitude of the value indicates the size of the difference. Errors and residuals A deviation that is a difference between an observed value and the true value of a quantity of interest (where true value denotes the Expected Value, such as the population mean) is an error.
En statistiques, le lasso est une méthode de contraction des coefficients de la régression développée par Robert Tibshirani dans un article publié en 1996 intitulé Regression shrinkage and selection via the lasso. Le nom est un acronyme anglais : Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator. Bien que cette méthode fut utilisée à l'origine pour des modèles utilisant l'estimateur usuel des moindres carrés, la pénalisation lasso s'étend facilement à de nombreux modèles statistiques tels que les modèles linéaires généralisés, les modèles à risque proportionnel, et les M-estimateurs.
This paper studies kernel ridge regression in high dimensions under covariate shifts and analyzes the role of importance re-weighting. We first derive the asymptotic expansion of high dimensional kernels under covariate shifts. By a bias-variance decomposi ...
