Predictive Performance Test based on the Exhaustive Nested Cross-Validation for High-dimensional data

It is crucial to assess the predictive performance of a model in order to establish its practicality and relevance in real-world scenarios, particularly for high-dimensional data analysis. Among data splitting or resampling methods, cross-validation (CV) is extensively used for several tasks such as estimating the prediction error, tuning the regularization parameter, and selecting the most suitable predictive model among competing alternatives. The K-fold cross-validation is a popular CV method but its limitation is that the risk estimates are highly dependent on the partitioning of the data (for training and testing). Here, the issues regarding the reproducibility of the K-fold CV estimator is demonstrated in hypothesis testing wherein different partitions lead to notably disparate conclusions. This study presents an alternative novel predictive performance test and valid confidence intervals based on exhaustive nested cross-validation for determining the difference in prediction error between two model-fitting algorithms. A naive implementation of the exhaustive nested cross-validation is computationally costly. Here, we address concerns regarding computational complexity by devising a computationally tractable closed-form expression for the proposed cross-validation estimator using ridge regularization. Our study also investigates strategies aimed at enhancing statistical power within high-dimensional scenarios while controlling the Type I error rate. To illustrate the practical utility of our method, we apply it to an RNA sequencing study and demonstrate its effectiveness in the context of biological data analysis.
