Hello - I am using glmnet to generate a model for multiple cohorts i. For each i, I run 5 separate models, each with a different x variable. I want to compare the fit statistic for each i and x combination. When I use auc, the output is in some cases is < .5 (.49). In addition, if I compare mean MSE (with upper and lower bounds) ... there is no difference across my various x variables, but

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

Dear R users: Recently, I learn to use penalized logistic regression. Two packages (penalized and glmnet) have the function of lasso. So I write these code. However, I got different results of coef. Can someone kindly explain. # lasso using penalized library(penalized) pena.fit2<-penalized(HRLNM,penalized=~CN+NoSus,lambda1=1,model="logistic",standardize=TRUE) pena.fit2

Hi All,  I have been trying to use glmnet package to do LASSO linear regression. my x data is a matrix n_row by n_col and y is a vector of size n_row corresponding to the vector data. The number of n_col is much more larger than the number of n_row. I do the following: fits = glmnet(x, y, family="multinomial")I have been following this

Hi all, I am using the glmnet R package to run LASSO with binary logistic regression. I have over 290 samples with outcome data (0 for alive, 1 for dead) and over 230 predictor variables. I currently using LASSO to reduce the number of predictor variables. I am using the cv.glmnet function to do 10-fold cross validation on a sequence of lambda values which I let glmnet determine. I then take

Hi, I am trying to do logistic regression for data of 104 patients, which have one outcome (yes or no) and 15 variables (9 categorical factors [yes or no] and 6 continuous variables). Number of yes outcome is 25. Twenty-five events and 15 variables mean events per variable is much less than 10. Therefore, I tried to analyze the data with penalized regression method. I would like please some of the

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 my R friends, I want to get a number from a list using paste function. In my example, lambda.rule <- "lambda.1se" cvtest is a list (result from cv.glmnet) and cvtest$lambda.1se [1] 1.308973 I want to call the value using paste function. I used get function but there was an error. test <- get(paste("cvtest$",lambda.rule, sep="")) Error in

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

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=',');

Hello all, I am having trouble with the glmnet package. I used it for the first time last week, after updating R to the current version (2.10.1, running in Windows XP). It seemed to be working fine as I explored what it could do with one of my datasets. A day or two later, using the exact same dataset, it suddenly stopped working. I get the following error every time I try to use glmnet with

Hi there, I am trying to use predict() with an object returned by cv.glmnet(), and get the following error: no applicable method for 'predict' applied to an object of class "cv.glmnet" What's wrong? my code: x=matrix(rnorm(100*20),100,20) y=rnorm(100) cv.fit=cv.glmnet(x,y) predict(cv.fit,newx=x[1:5,]) coef(cv.fit) Thanks so much, Asaf -- View this message in context:

dear all, It appears that glmnet(), when "selecting" the covariates entering the model, skips from K covariates, say, to K+2 or K+3. Thus 2 or 3 variables are "added" at the same time and it is not possible to obtain a ranking of the covariates according to their importance in the model. On the other hand lars() "adds" the covariates one at a time. My question

Dear All, ? I have found differences between glmnet versions 1.7 and 1.7.1 which, in my opinion, are not cosmetic and do not appear in the ChangeLog. If I am not mistaken, glmnet appears to return different number of selected input variables, i.e. nonzeroCoef(fit$beta[[1]]) differes between versions. The code below is the same for 1.7.1 and 1.7, but you can see that outputs differ. I would

Hi, is there any chance to install glmnet with gcc-4.5.2?

Dear R users, if all my numerical variables in my datasets having the same units, may I leave them unnormalized, just do cv.glmnet directly(cv.glmnet(data,standardize=FALSE))? i know normally if there is a mixture of numerical and categorical , one has to standardize the numerical part before applying cv.glmnet with standardize=fase, but that's due to the different units in the numerical

Dear All, Can the x matrix in the glmnet() function of glmnet package be a data.frame with numeric columns and factor columns? I am asking this because I have a model with both numeric and categorical predictors, which I would like to study with glmnet. I have already tried to use a data.frame, but with no success -- as far as I know, the matrix object can only have data of a single type. Is

Hello, I?m trying to in install the package 'glmnet' but I get always the error massage "package ?Matrix? is not available". I search on you site, but I coundn?t find the package there either. Is their still a package called "Matrix"? Or how can I use "glmnet"? Thank You in advance. Kind regards J.Hemmersbach
