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? -- Yang Zhang http://yz.mit.edu/

Hi, My question might be a little general. I have a number of values to select for the complexity parameters in some classifier, e.g. the C and gamma in SVM with RBF kernel. The selection is based on which values give the smallest cross validation error. I wonder if the randomized splitting of the available dataset into folds is done only once for all those choices for the parameter values, or
