High-dimensional data analysis requires variable selection to identify truly relevant variables. More often it is done implicitly via regularization, such as penalized regression. Of the many versions of penalties, SCAD has shown good properties and has been widely adopted in medical research and many more areas. This paper reviews the various optimization techniques in solving SCAD penalized regression.
