Hi, I installed package 'lars' earlier tonight and did not get any sort of error message. ### ** building package indices ... ** testing if installed package can be loaded Loaded lars 0.9-8 * DONE (lars) ### However, when I try to load it, I get ### > library(lars, lib.loc = "~/R/x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu-librar...

Hi,   I'm using lars package to run some regression analysis and my doubt now is how can I predict my model to another dataset? Let me explain a little better: I have a dataset from which I withhold some data. With the data that wasn't withheld, I create the model. Now, what I'm not being able to do is apply t...

We have been using Least Angle Regression (lars) to help identify predictors in models where the outcome is continuous. To do so we have been relying on the lars package. Theoretically, it should be possible to use the lars procedure within a general linear model (glm) framework - we are particular interested in a logistic regression model....

Hello, I have a question about the lars package. I am using this package to get the coefficients at a specific LASSO parameter s. data(diabetes) attach(diabetes) object <- lars(x,y,type="lasso") cvres<-cv.lars(x,y,K=10,fraction = seq(from = 0, to = 1, length = 100)) fits <- predict.lars(object, type="coeffic...

Hi, I am writing to seek some guidance regarding using Lasso regression with the R package LARS. I have introductory statistics background but I am trying to learn more. Right now I am trying to duplicate the results in a paper for shRNA prediction "An accurate and interpretable model for siRNA efficacy prediction, Jean-Philippe Vert et. al, Bioinformatics" for a Bioinformatics pro...

Hello Folks, Very new to R so bear with me, running 5.2 on XP. Trying to do a zero-inflated negative binomial regression on placental scar data as dependent.

hello I tried to use lars() but neither with my own data nor with the sample data it works. I get in both cases the following error prompt: > data(diabetes) > par(mfrow=c(2,2)) > attach(diabetes) > x<-lars(x,y) Error in one %*% x : requires numeric matrix/vector arguments > x<-lars(x,y, type="...

Hello, I have a question about lars package, probably basic. The returned values of lars function include R squares along the variable selection path. However, such values are always slightly different from the R squares returned by the regression function lm using the same models. Anyone know the reasons? Very important, and ne...

When plotting a lars object, I cannot find a way to plot solid lines. Even when the arguments breaks=F and lty="solid" are used, the vertical lines at the break points do not plot but asterisks indicating the breaks still plot as part of each path leaving solid lines broken up by asterisks at the break point...

I am trying to extract coefficients from lars fit and can't find how to get intercept. E.g. y = rnorm(10) x = matrix(runif(50),nrow=10) X = data.frame(y,x) fit1 = lars(as.matrix(X[,2:6]),as.matrix(X[,1])) fit2 = lm(y~.,data=X) Then, if I do: > predict(fit1,s=1,mode='fraction',type='coefficients')$coef X1...

Hi, I am trying to use lars on my data. After getting the model and did the prediction, I compare the predicted value and the coefficients and it seems like there should be a constant term in the model. I have gone through the documentation of the lars package and I can't seem to find how to get this piece of information...

I am trying to use the lars package in R to carry out lasso analysis. However, I am having some problems. Please could you help me with the following questions: 1) Exactly what format do x and y need to be in for cv.lars(x, y) and lars (x, y)? And what information do x and y need to contain exactly? I have tried using to...
