Estimating Shape Parameters of Piecewise Linear-Quadratic Problems by Zheng, Peng, Ramamurthy, Karthikeyan Natesan, Aravkin, Aleksandr Y.

“…Properties of these estimators depend on the choice of penalty and its shape parameters, such as degree of asymmetry for the quantile loss, and transition point between linear and quadratic pieces for the Huber function.In this paper, we develop a statistical framework that can help the modeler to automatically tune shape parameters once the shape of the penalty has been chosen. …”
