Abstract(in English) We proposed the $K$-sparse Exhaustive-Search (ES-$K$) method, in which, assuming the optimum combination of explanatory variables is $K$-sparse, we exhaustively search the $K$-sparse combinations for sparse variable selection in linear regression. We then obtain the density of states and can map to it solutions obtained by various approximate methods of sparse variable selection. This method enables us to integrate the previous sparse variable selection methods such as relaxation approach and sampling approach, and evaluate all the approximate methods. In addition, for the problem of combinatorial explosion of the explanatory variables, we effectively reconstructed the density of states by using the exchange Monte Carlo method and multi-histogram method. Finally, we applied the ES-$K$ method to the type Ia supernova data. As a result, there is a combination of explanatory variables with higher performance than that of previous approximate sparse variable selection methods. This result means that relaxation approach for sparse variable selection used in previous studies is incomplete.
