R help - Feb 2012 - Choosing glmnet lambda values via caret

Usually when using raw glmnet I let the implementation choose the
lambdas.  However when training via caret::train the lambda values are
predetermined.  Is there any way to have caret defer the lambda
choices to caret::train and thus choose the optimal lambda
dynamically?

You can adjust the candidate set of tuning parameters via the tuneGrid
argument in trian() and the process by which the optimal choice is
made (via the 'selectionFunction' argument in trainControl()). Check
out the package vignettes.

The latest version also has an update.train() function that lets the
user manually specify the tuning parameters after the call to train().
