| contents | We consider a two-stage estimation method for linear regression. First, it uses the lasso in Tibshirani (1996) to screen variables and, second, re-estimates the coefficients using the least-squares boosting method in Friedman (2001) on every set of selected variables. Based on the large-scale simulation experiment in Hastie et al. (2020), lassoed boosting performs as well as the relaxed lasso in Meinshausen (2007) and, under certain scenarios, can yield a sparser model. Applied to predicting equity returns, lassoed boosting gives the smallest mean-squared prediction error compared to several other methods. |
