Consistency of ℓ1 penalized negative binomial regressions

Abstract

We prove the consistency of the ℓ1 penalized negative binomial regression (NBR). A real data application about German health care demand shows that the ℓ1 penalized NBR produces a more concise but more accurate model, comparing to the classical NBR.
