Abstract
To study variable selection for high-dimensional Tobit models, we formulate Tobit models to single-index models. We hybrid group variable selection procedures for single index models and univariate regression methods for Tobit models to achieve variable selection for Tobit models with group structures taken into consideration. The procedure is computationally efficient and easily implemented. Finite sample experiments show its promising performance. We also illustrate its utility by analyzing a dataset from an HIV/AIDS study.
