Abstract:
There are considerable challenges in analyzing large-scale compositional data. In this paper, we introduce the Spike-and-Slab Lasso linear regression in the presence of compositional covariates for parameter estimation and variable selection. We consider the well-known isometric log-ratio (ilr) coordinates to avoid misleading statistical inference. The separable and non-separable (adaptative) Spike-and-Slab Lasso penalties are compared to verify the advantages of each approach. The proposed method is illustrated on simulated and on real Brazilian child malnutrition data.

Multiple Regression
Farmers can use multiple regression to determine the crop yield based on more than one factor, such as water availability, fertilizer, soil properties, etc. Here, the crop yield is the response or dependent variable as it depends on the other independent variables. The analysis requires the construction of a scatter plot...

Regression Analysis
In regression analysis, a regression equation is determined based on the line of best fit– a line that best fits the data points plotted in a graph. This line is also called the regression line. The algebraic equation for the regression line is called the regression equation. It is represented as:
