The basic idea of the AO penalty is to use a linear combination of L_1-norm and the bridge penalty with γ > 1 where the amount of the bridge penalty part is driven by empirical correlation. So, consider the penalty
P_{\tilde{λ}}^{ao}(\boldsymbol{β}) = ∑_{i = 2}^p ∑_{j< i} p_{\tilde{λ},ij} (\boldsymbol{β}), \quad \tilde{λ} = (λ, γ)
where
p_{\tilde{λ},ij} = λ[(1 - |\varrho_{ij}|) (|β_i| + |β_j|) + |\varrho_{ij}|(|β_i|^γ + |β_j|^γ)],
and \varrho_{ij} denotes the value of the (empirical) correlation of the i-th and j-th regressor. Since we are going to approximate an octagonal polytope in two dimensions, we will refer to this penalty as approximated octagon (AO) penalty. Note that P_{\tilde{λ}}^{ao}(\boldsymbol{β}) leads to a dominating lasso term if the regressors are uncorrelated and to a dominating bridge term if they are nearly perfectly correlated.
The penalty can be rearranged as
P_{\tilde{λ}}^{ao}(\boldsymbol{β}) = ∑_{i=1}^p p_{\tilde{λ},i}^{ao}(β_i),
where
p_{\tilde{λ},i}^{ao}(β_i) = λ ≤ft\{|β_i|∑_{j \neq i} (1 - |\varrho_{ij}|) + |β_i|^γ ∑_{j \neq i} |\varrho_{ij}|\right\}.
It uses two tuning parameters \tilde{λ} = (λ, γ), where λ controls the penalty amount and γ manages the approximation of the pairwise L_∞-norm.
