Like many, I am sure, I get R-Help in digest form. Its easy enough to browse the subject lines, but then if an entry interests you, you have to embark on this tedious search or scroll to find it. It would be great to have a "clickable" digest, where the topics list is a set of pointers, and clicking on a topic takes you to that entry. I can think of at least one way to do this via

I have contributed a "gam" library to CRAN, which implements "Generalized Additive Models". This implementation follows closely the description in the GAM chapter 7 of the "white" book "Statistical Models in S" (Chambers & Hastie (eds), 1992, Wadsworth), as well as the philosophy in "Generalized Additive Models" (Hastie & Tibshirani 1990,

Christoph Lehman had problems with seperated data in two-class logistic regression. One useful little trick is to penalize the logistic regression using a quadratic penalty on the coefficients. I am sure there are functions in the R contributed libraries to do this; otherwise it is easy to achieve via IRLS using ridge regressions. Then even though the data are separated, the penalized

Dear List, I would appreciate help on the following matter: I am aware that higher dimensional contingency tables can be analysed using either log-linear models or as a poisson regression using a generalized linear model: log-linear: loglm(~Age+Site, data=xtabs(~Age+Site, data=SSites.Rev, drop.unused.levels=T)) GLM: glm.table <- as.data.frame(xtabs(~Age+Site, data=SSites.Rev,

Dear helpers, I am trying to use the mda package downloaded from the R website, but the data set has missing values so I got an error message. Should I manually handle these missing values? I was trying to read the documents to specify any option related to missing values, but I did not find it. Please forgive me if I ignore something obvious. Thanks, Zhu Wang Statistical Science Department

This is a new version of glmnet, that incorporates some bug fixes and speedups. * a new convergence criterion which which offers 10x or more speedups for saturated fits (mainly effects logistic, Poisson and Cox) * one can now predict directly from a cv.object - see the help files for cv.glmnet and predict.cv.glmnet * other new methods are deviance() for "glmnet" and coef() for

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

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
