    Cmars: a Powerful Predictive Data Mining Package in R
    (Elsevier, 2023) Yerlikaya-oezkurt, Fatma; Yazici, Ceyda; Batmaz, Inci
    Conic Multivariate Adaptive Regression Splines (CMARS) is a very successful method for modeling nonlinear structures in high-dimensional data. It is based on MARS algorithm and utilizes Tikhonov regularization and Conic Quadratic Optimization (CQO). In this paper, the open-source R package, cmaRs, built to construct CMARS models for prediction and binary classification is presented with illustrative applications. Also, the CMARS algorithm is provided in both pseudo and R code. Note here that cmaRs package provides a good example for a challenging implementation of CQO based on MOSEK solver in R environment by linking R MOSEK through the package Rmosek.

    New Computational Methods for Classification Problems in the Existence of Outliers Based on Conic Quadratic Optimization
    (Taylor & Francis inc, 2020) Yerlikaya-Ozkurt, Fatma; Taylan, Pakize
    Most of the statistical research involves classification which is a procedure utilized to establish prediction models to set apart and classify new observations in the dataset from every fields of science, technology, and economics. However, these models may give misclassification results when dataset contains outliers (extreme data points). Therefore, we dealt with outliers in classification problem: firstly, by combining robustness of mean-shift outlier model and then stability of Tikhonov regularization based on continuous optimization method called Conic Quadratic Programming. These new methodologies are performed on classification dataset within the existence of outliers, and the results are compared with parametric model by using well-known performance measures.
