Abstract

This article introduces the supervised deep learning method sparse kernel deep stacking networks (SKDSNs), which extend traditional kernel deep stacking networks (KDSNs) by incorporating a set of data-driven regularization and variable selection steps to improve predictive performance in high-dimensional settings. Before model fitting, variable pre-selection is carried out using genetic algorithms in combination with the randomized dependence coefficient, accounting for non-linear dependencies among the inputs and the outcome variable. During model fitting, internal variable selection is based on a ranked feature ordering which is tuned within the model-based optimization framework. Further regularization steps include $$L_1$$ L 1 -penalized kernel regression and dropout. Our simulation studies demonstrate an improved prediction accuracy of SKDSNs compared to traditional KDSNs. Runtime analysis of SKDSNs shows that the dimension of the random Fourier transformation greatly affects computational efficiency, and that the speed of SKDSNs can be improved by applying a subsampling-based ensemble strategy. Numerical experiments show that the latter strategy further increases predictive performance. Application of SKDSNs to three biomedical data sets confirm the results of the simulation study. SKDSNs are implemented in a new version of the R package kernDeepStackNet.
