hal9001
The Scalable Highly Adaptive Lasso
Authors: Jeremy Coyle, Nima Hejazi, Rachael Phillips, Lars van der Laan, and Mark van der Laan
hal9001?hal9001 is an R package providing an implementation of the scalable highly adaptive lasso (HAL), a nonparametric regression estimator that applies L1-regularized lasso regression to a design matrix composed of indicator functions corresponding to the support of the functional over a set of covariates and interactions thereof. HAL regression allows for arbitrarily complex functional forms to be estimated at fast (near-parametric) convergence rates under only global smoothness assumptions (van der Laan 2017a; Bibaut and van der Laan 2019). For detailed theoretical discussions of the highly adaptive lasso estimator, consider consulting, for example, van der Laan (2017a), van der Laan (2017b), and van der Laan and Bibaut (2017). For a computational demonstration of the versatility of HAL regression, see Benkeser and van der Laan (2016). Recent theoretical works have demonstrated success in building efficient estimators of complex parameters when particular variations of HAL regression are used to estimate nuisance parameters (e.g., van der Laan, Benkeser, and Cai 2019; Ertefaie, Hejazi, and van der Laan 2020).
