R help - Nov 2011 - predict for a cv.glmnet returns an error

Hi there,

I am trying to use predict() with an object returned by cv.glmnet(), and get
the following error:
no applicable method for 'predict' applied to an object of class
"cv.glmnet"

What's wrong?

my code:

x=matrix(rnorm(100*20),100,20)
y=rnorm(100)
cv.fit=cv.glmnet(x,y)
predict(cv.fit,newx=x[1:5,])
coef(cv.fit)

Thanks so much,

Asaf

Hi:

Here's what I got when I ran your code:

library('glmnet')

> cv.fit=cv.glmnet(x,y)
