Hello, I am running: R version 2.10.0 (2009-10-26) Copyright (C) 2009 The R Foundation for Statistical Computing ISBN 3-900051-07-0 on a 64-bit RedHat box. To encourage collegues to use R, I am trying to install "JGR", which depends on "rJava", on the above machine. At first I received and error saying Java was not available. My IT support, I am not admin. on this

Hello there, I spent all day yesterday trying to get a small data set from Splus into R, no luck! Both, Splus and R, are run on a 64-bit RedHat Linux machine, the versions of the softwares are 64-bit and are as what follows: Splus: TIBCO Software Inc. Confidential Information Copyright (c) 1988-2008 TIBCO Software Inc. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. TIBCO Spotfire S+ Version 8.1.1 for Linux 2.6.9-34.EL,

Hello there, apologies for cross-posting my question is not an S/R question but there is so much knowledge concentrated in those lists that I thought someone could point me in the right direction. A few months ago I read an article in a referenced journal comparing some data mining programs, among which there was Insightful's I Miner, SAS' Entreprise Miner, SPSS' Clementine (I think)

Hello, I have a .First function in my personnal Rprofile file. Through the .First function I want to load an R data base at position 2 in the search list but R complains with: "Attempting to load the environment 'package:stats'" and further down the initialization process, when .First.sys() is run and default packages are loaded, my newly loaded data base ends up at position

Hello R-help list, I have a piece of code written by a grad student here at BU which will segfault when using one data set, but complete just fine using another. Both sets are just text files full of real numbers. It seems like a bug within R. It could be a bug within her data, but again, her data is just a bunch of floats, so her data could be triggering a bug within R. I have tried this

Dear Robert, The differences have to do with diffent scaling defaults. lrm by default standardizes the covariates to unit sd before applying penalization. penalized by default does not do any standardization, but if asked standardizes on unit second central moment. In your example: x = c(-2, -2, -2, -2, -1, -1, -1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3) z = c(0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1, 1, 0, 1, 1, 1) You

The following R code using different packages gives the same results for a simple logistic regression without regularization, but different results with regularization. This may just be a matter of different scaling of the regularization parameters, but if anyone familiar with these packages has insight into why the results differ, I'd appreciate hearing about it. I'm new to

Could any one help ? I start to learn the glmnet package. I tried with the example in the manual. x=matrix(rnorm(100*20),100,20) y=rnorm(100) fit1=glmnet(x,y) When I tried to fit the model, I received the error message: Error in validObject(.Object) : invalid class "dgCMatrix" object: row indices are not sorted within columns Thank you very much!

Hello I'm having trouble using lars and glmnet functions to predict on a new data set with different nrow then the original : for instance: ============= log.1 = glm(temp.data$TL~(.),temp.data,family = binomial,x=TRUE,y=TRUE) nrow(test.data) != nrow(temp.data # == TRUE Val.frame = model.frame(log.1,test.data) # returns a data frame with the variables needed to use log.1

glmnet is a package that fits the regularization path for linear, two- and multi-class logistic regression models with "elastic net" regularization (tunable mixture of L1 and L2 penalties). glmnet uses pathwise coordinate descent, and is very fast. Some of the features of glmnet: * by default it computes the path at 100 uniformly spaced (on the log scale) values of the

Hi, I was trying to install package glmnet in R, but failed and it show such messages: * Installing *source* package glmnet ... This package has only been tested with gfortran. So some checks are needed. R_HOME is /home/username/R/R-2.9.0 Attempting to determine R_ARCH... R_ARCH is Attempting to detect how R was configured for Fortran 90....

glmnet_1.2 has been uploaded to CRAN. This is a major upgrade, with the following additional features: * poisson family, with dense or sparse x * Cox proportional hazards family, for dense x * wide range of cross-validation features. All models have several criteria for cross-validation. These include deviance, mean absolute error, misclassification error and "auc" for logistic or

Hello fellow R users, I have been getting a strange error message when using the cv.glmnet function in the glmnet package. I am attempting to fit a multinomial regression using the lasso. covars is a matrix with 80 rows and roughly 4000 columns, all the covariates are binary. resp is an eight level factor. I can fit the model with no errors but when I try to cross-validate after about 30 seconds

Hello, I got an error message saying Error in lognet(x, is.sparse, ix, jx, y, weights, offset, alpha, nobs, : NA/NaN/Inf in foreign function call (arg 5) when I try to analysis a binary trait using glmnet(R) by running the following code library(glmnet) Xori <- read.table("c:\\SNP.txt", sep='\t'); Yori <- read.table("c:\\Trait.txt", sep=',');

Hi, I am trying to do multinomial regression using the glmnet package, but the following gives me an error (for no reason apparent to me): library(glmnet) cv.glmnet(x=matrix(c(1,2,3,4,5,6,1,2,3,4,5,6), nrow=6),y=as.factor(c(1,2,1,2,3,3)),family='multinomial',alpha=0.5, nfolds=2) The error i get is: Error in if (outlist$msg != "Unknown error") return(outlist) : argument is of

Hi, I am attempting to evaluate the prediction error of a coxph model that was built after feature selection with glmnet. In the preprocessing stage I used na.omit (dataset) to remove NAs. I reconstructed all my factor variables into binary variables with dummies (using model.matrix) I then used glmnet lasso to fit a cox model and select the best performing features. Then I fit a coxph model

Dear All, I want to generate survival curve with cox model but I want to estimate the coefficients using glmnet. However, I also want to include a strata() term in the model. Could anyone please tell me how to have this strata() effect in the model in glmnet? I tried converting a formula with strata() to a design matrix and feeding to glmnet, but glmnet just treats the strata() term with one
