In this paper, by introducing the group centres and L2 -type penalty in the loss function, we propose a novel centre-augmented regularization (CAR) method; this method can be regarded as a unification of the regularization method and FMM and hence exhibits higher efficiency and robustness and simpler computations than the existing methods. Particularly, its computational complexity is reduced from the $O(n^2)$ of the conventional pairwise-penalty method to only $O(nK)$, where n is the sample size and K is the number of subgroups. The asymptotic normality of CAR is established, and the convergence of the algorithm is proven. CAR is applied to a dataset from a multicenter clinical trial: Buprenorphine in the Treatment of Opiate Dependence; a larger $R^2$ is produced and three additional significant variables are identif...
