abess: R & Python Softwares for Best-Subset Selection in Polynomial Time

Best-subset selection aims to find a small subset of predictors such that the resulting linear model is expected to have the most desirable prediction accuracy. This project implements a polynomial algorithm proposed by Zhu et al (2020) to solve the problem. More over, the softwares includes helpful features for high-dimensional data analysis:

• Linear regression, classification, counting-response modeling, censored-response modeling, multi-response modeling (multi-tasks learning)
• sure independence screening
• nuisance penalized regression

Installation
