Researchers have developed a new regularized maximum likelihood framework for estimating parameters and performing feature selection in mixtures of generalized linear experts. This approach, applicable to Gaussian, Poisson, and multinomial responses, uses L1 penalties to induce sparsity in both the gating network and the experts. The method is optimized using a proximal Newton-EM algorithm that avoids matrix inversions and thresholding, yielding exactly sparse estimates and demonstrating competitive or superior prediction and clustering accuracy on simulated and real datasets.
