Variables can synergize, even in a linear model

Introduction Suppose we have the task of predicting an outcome y given a number of variables v1,..,vk. We often want to “prune variables” or build models with fewer than all the variables. This can be to speed up modeling, decrease the cost of producing future data, improve robustness, improve explain-ability, even reduce over-fit, and improve … Continue reading Variables can synergize, even in a linear model
