Structured Analysis of the High-dimensional FMR Model.

ABSTRACT: The finite mixture of regression (FMR) model is a popular tool for accommodating data heterogeneity. In the analysis of FMR models with high-dimensional covariates, it is necessary to conduct regularized estimation and identify important covariates rather than noises. In the literature, there has been a lack of attention paid to the differences among important covariates, which can lead to the underlying structure of covariate effects. Specifically, important covariates can be classified into two types: those that behave the same in different subpopulations and those that behave differently. It is of interest to conduct structured analysis to identify such structures, which will enable researchers to better understand covariates and their associations with outcomes. Specifically, the FMR m
