The objective of the thesis is to explore whether regularization techniques can be
applied to ERP analysis, and which type of regularization is adequate. This thesis
proposes elastic net regularization logistic regression as a good candidate of
data analytic method for Event-Related Potential analysis (ERP). Specifically,
regularization techniques are used to identify latency in ERP. Study 1 tested
whether regularization logistic regression can classify latency using simulated
ERP data. It showed that ridge and lasso could identify latency information. In
study 2, the same analyses were applied to actual ERP data. Ridge regression
can identify latency information wheras lasso cannot.
