SPPCSO: Adaptive Penalized Estimation Method for High-Dimensional Correlated Data

With the rise of high-dimensional correlated data, multicollinearity poses a significant challenge to model stability, often leading to unstable estimation and reduced predictive accuracy. This work proposes the Single-Parametric Principal Component Selection Operator (SPPCSO), an innovative penalized estimation method that integrates single-parametric principal component regression and $L_{1}$ regularization to adaptively adjust the shrinkage factor by incorporating principal component information. This approach achieves a balance between variable selection and coefficient estimation, ensuring model stability and robust estimation even in high-dimensional, high-noise environments. The primary contribution lies in addressing the instability of traditional variable selection methods when applied to high-noise, high-dimensional correlated data. Theoretically, our method exhibits selection consistency and achieves a smaller estimation error bound compared to traditional penalized estimation approaches. Extensive numerical experiments demonstrate that SPPCSO not only delivers stable and reliable estimation in high-noise settings but also accurately distinguishes signal variables from noise variables in group-effect structured data with highly correlated noise variables, effectively eliminating redundant variables and achieving more stable variable selection. Furthermore, SPPCSO successfully identifies disease-associated genes in gene expression data analysis, showcasing strong practical value. The results indicate that SPPCSO serves as an ideal tool for high-dimensional variable selection, offering an efficient and interpretable solution for modeling correlated data.
