“…To solve this problem, variable selection methods such as Monte Carlo uninformative variable elimination (MC-UVE) (Cai, Li, & Shao, 2008), randomization test (RT) (Xu, Liu, Cai, & Shao, 2009), competitive adaptive reweighted sampling (CARS) (Li, Liang, Xu, & Cao, 2009), and related techniques (Han, Tan, et al, 2017) were proposed for building robust and accurate models. In our previous work, variable adaptive boosting partial least squares (VABPLS) (Li, Du, Ma, Zhou, & Jiang, 2018) was proposed to obtain robustness models and improve the prediction ability by simultaneous weighting samples and variables in the boosting step.…”
