Least absolute deviations with L1 regularization using majorization-minimization
Project description
Least absolute deviations with L1 regularization using majorization-minimization. In estimation theory terms, this is the Maximum A Posterior (MAP) estimator for a Laplacian likelihood with Laplacian prior, i.e.
The MM algorithm update turns out to be
which belongs to the class of iterative reweighted least-squares: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iteratively_reweighted_least_squares
