This paper introduces an innovative approach to automate model selection by combining feature subset selection with holistic generalized linear models using mixed-integer conic optimization. The authors directly optimize for model evaluation metrics, such as Akaike and Bayesian information criteria, while addressing multicollinearity issues in the feature selection process. Notably, they propose a novel pairwise correlation constraint that incorporates ideas from Ridge regression and the OSCAR model to ensure effective feature subset selection.

This paper is about using a special kind of math problem (mixed-integer conic optimization) to help choose the best model for a dataset. Right now, choosing the right model can be a tricky process that requires a lot of trial and error. But this new approach can automate the process by considering multiple models at once and selecting the one that performs best. The researchers also come up with a new way to make sure the features they’re using aren’t too similar to each other, which is important for getting good results.
