New subsampling method tackles rare-events data in sparse models

Researchers have developed a new scale-invariant optimal subsampling method for handling rare-events data in sparse models. This approach aims to mitigate information loss that can occur with aggressive subsampling, particularly when inactive features are present. The method defines an optimal subsampling function to minimize prediction error, utilizing adaptive lasso for estimation and providing theoretical guarantees. Numerical experiments with simulated and real-world data demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed techniques, including an estimator based on maximum sampled conditional likelihood for improved efficiency.
