Approximate Empirical Bayes Estimation of the Regularization Parameter in ℓ1 Trend Filtering
2022 IEEE International Symposium on Information Theory (ISIT)(2022)
摘要
Trend filtering is often used in economics and other fields. ℓ

trend filtering was proposed as a derivative of Hodrick-Prescott filtering based on the sparsity in the changes of trends. Although it has a regularization parameter, which needs to be set in advance, the non-conjugacy arising from the ℓ

regularization term prohibits a tractable Bayesian treatment including the sequence-dependent estimation of the regularization parameter. In this study, we consider the empirical Bayes estimation of the regularization parameter by approximating the non-conjugate prior distribution in ℓ
