Abstract
A computer-implemented method for simultaneous metric learning and variable selection in non-linear regression is presented. The computer-implemented method includes introducing a dataset and a target variable, creating a univariate neighborhood probability map for each reference point of the dataset, and determining a pairwise distance between each reference point and other points within the dataset. The computer-implemented method further includes computing a Hessian matrix of a quadratic programming (QP) problem, performing optimization of the QP problem, re-weighing data derived from the optimization of the QP problem, and performing non-linear regression on the re-weighed data.
