How to select the appropriate model structure according to the data characteristics has become an important topic. The purpose of this paper is to design a structure selection method for the grey multivariate model.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Design\/methodology\/approach<\/jats:title><jats:p>The linear correction term is introduced into the grey model, then the nonhomogeneous grey multivariable model with convolution integral [NGMC(1,<jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>)] is proposed. Then, by incorporating the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO), the model parameters are compressed and estimated based on the least angle regression (LARS) algorithm.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Findings<\/jats:title><jats:p>By adjusting the values of the parameters, the NGMC(1,<jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>) model can derive various structures of grey models, which shows the structural adaptability of the NGMC(1,<jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>) model. Based on the geometric interpretation of the LASSO method, the structure selection of the grey model can be transformed into sparse parameter estimation, and the structure selection can be realized by LASSO estimation.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Practical implications<\/jats:title><jats:p>This paper not only provides an effective method to
