Least absolute deviationsLeast 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.
Elastic net regularizationIn statistics and, in particular, in the fitting of linear or logistic regression models, the elastic net is a regularized regression method that linearly combines the L1 and L2 penalties of the lasso and ridge methods. The elastic net method overcomes the limitations of the LASSO (least absolute shrinkage and selection operator) method which uses a penalty function based on Use of this penalty function has several limitations. For example, in the "large p, small n" case (high-dimensional data with few examples), the LASSO selects at most n variables before it saturates.
Fonction impliciteEn mathématiques, une équation entre différentes variables où une variable n'est pas explicitée en fonction des autres est appelée une équation implicite. Une fonction implicite est une fonction qui se déduit implicitement d'une telle équation. Plus précisément si f est une fonction de E × F dans G, où E, F et G sont des espaces vectoriels normés ou plus simplement des intervalles de R, l'équation f(x,y) = 0 définit une fonction implicite si l'on peut exprimer une des variables en fonction de l'autre pour tous les couples (x,y) vérifiant l'équation.
Pseudoconvex functionIn convex analysis and the calculus of variations, both branches of mathematics, a pseudoconvex function is a function that behaves like a convex function with respect to finding its local minima, but need not actually be convex. Informally, a differentiable function is pseudoconvex if it is increasing in any direction where it has a positive directional derivative. The property must hold in all of the function domain, and not only for nearby points.
