class LARS(*args)

Least Angle Regression.

Refer to Sparse least squares polynomial metamodel.

BasisSequenceFactory

Notes

LARS inherits from BasisSequenceFactory.

If the size P of the PC basis is of similar size to N, or even possibly significantly larger than N , then the following ordinary least squares problem is ill-posed:

\vect{a} = \argmin_{\vect{b} \in \Rset^P} E_{\mu} \left[ \left( g \circ T^{-1} (\vect{U}) - \vect{b}^{\intercal} \vect{\Psi}(\vect{U}) \right)^2 \right]

The sparse least squares approaches may be employed instead. Eventually a sparse PC representation is obtained, that is an approximation which only contains a small number of active basis functions.

This class is not usable as is because it has sense only whithin the FunctionalChaosAlgorithm.
