Abstract
In the modern big data environment, Stochastic gradient descent is an important method for training neural networks, processing largescale data sets, optimization, etc. Deeply welcomed in various fields. With regard to SGD, the existing literature considers the stopping condition of parameter iteration. In fact, some unimportant parameters do not always have values of 0 during iteration, and it is not clear whether they are important or not even if the stop condition is reached. We consider variable selection of SGD parameter iteration with L1 regular in generalized linear regression model (taking Logistic regression as an example). Monte Carlo numerical simulation and practical application examples were given to illustrate the consistency of variable selection. The results show that high accuracy can be achieved by using the selected variables to build the model.
