Hi, How is it possible to specify all predictors in ridge function? suppose that I have 100 predictors and I want to apply ridge to all 100 variables. instead of putting the name of all variables separated by "," (see 2nd code line below), which notation should I use so that ridge would be applied to all variables? something similar to . that is used in coxph coxph (Surv(Survtime, Survstat) ~., data = ... usage of ridge function ridge(..., theta, df=nvar/2, eps=0.1, scale=TRUE) fit1 <- coxph(Surv(futime, fustat) ~ rx + ridge(age, ecog.ps, theta=1), ovarian) --------------------------------- Luggage?
