similar to: has anyone implemented LARS with the "positive lasso"?

Hi, Is there an R implementation of least angle regression for binary response modeling? I know that this question has been asked before, and I am also aware of the "lasso2" package, but that only implements an L1 penalty, i.e. the Lasso approach. Madigan and Ridgeway in their discussion of Efron et al (2004) describe a LARS-type algorithm for generalized linear models. Has

Hi, all, I am using the lars package for lasso estimate. So I get a lasso fit first: lassofit = lars(x,y,type ="lasso",normalize=T, intercept=T) Then I want to get coefficient with respect to a certain value of \lambda (the tuning parameter), I know lars has three mode options c("step", "fraction", "norm"), but can I use the \lambda value instead

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="lasso") Error in one %*% x : requires numeric matrix/vector arguments

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. Does anyone have examples of using lars with logistic

I'm having the exact problem outlined in a previous post from 2005 - unfortunately the post was never answered: http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/05/10/15055.html When running: lm2=lars(x2,y,type="lasso",use.Gram=F) I get an error: Error in if (zmin < gamhat) { : missing value where TRUE/FALSE needed ...when running lasso via lars() on a 67x3795 set of predictors. I

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 points. I'm using the following code. larsfit <-

Dear all I am using lars package to do lasso in R. I dont undesrtand what max.steps do?and how I can understand from the outputs to obtain the last steps in this packagethanks for your helpbest [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear All, I am using lars package written by Dr. Trevor Hastie, the version is lars_0.9-5 downloaded from cran. When I ran the diabetes example data attached in package, I found that the beta outputs from different machines are different. The difference is only about 10^-11 to 10^-12, some friends suggested that it possibly is a machine precision problem. But I check the machine numerical

There may be benefits to having a machine learning method that explicitly targets covariate balance. We have experimented with optimizing the weights directly to obtain the best covariate balance, but got some strange solutions for simple cases that made us wary of such methods. Machine learning methods that yield calibrated probability estimates should do well (e.g. those that optimize the

I'm using R 2.2.0 on Windows. Doing some conversions of help files. Internal comments indicate that the Sd2Rd conversion is "Converted by Sd2Rd version 1.21." I'm converting .d -> .Rd .sgml -> .Rd using Sd2Rd, then checking by using Rdconv to convert .Rd back to .d or .sgml. Here are errors in some of the conversions. The most significant errors are in .Rd to .sgml.

Hi useR's, Has anyone used the "Lars" package in R before? If so, is there any tutorial (not manual) or worked out example online for this R package that one can go through to figure out how one can use this package with lasso regression? I appreciate any help I can get in this direction. Sincerely, Vishal -- *Vishal Thapar, Ph.D.* *Scientific informatics Analyst Cold Spring

Least Angle Regression software: LARS "Least Angle Regression" ("LAR") is a new model selection algorithm; a useful and less greedy version of traditional forward selection methods. LAR is described in detail in a paper by Brad Efron, Trevor Hastie, Iain Johnstone and Rob Tibshirani, soon to appear in the Annals of Statistics. The paper, as well as R and Splus packages, are

I'm using the package 'lars' in R with the following code: > library(lars) > set.seed(3) > n <- 1000 > x1 <- rnorm(n) > x2 <- x1+rnorm(n)*0.5 > x3 <- rnorm(n) > x4 <- rnorm(n) > x5 <- rexp(n) > y <- 5*x1 + 4*x2 + 2*x3 + 7*x4 + rnorm(n) > x <- cbind(x1,x2,x3,x4,x5) > cor(cbind(y,x)) y x1 x2

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="coefficients", s=0.1, mode="fraction") Can I assign

Dear R-users I'm trying to use lasso in lars package for subset regression, I have a large matrix of size 1000x100 and my aim is to select a subset k of the 100 variables. Is there any way in lars to fix the number k (i.e. to select the best 10 variables) library(lars) aa=lars(X,Y,type="lasso",max.steps=200) plot(aa,plottype="Cp") aa$RSS which.min(aa$RSS)

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 project

Dear all, I am using modified LARS algorithm (ref: The Adaptive Lasso and Its Oracle Properties, Zou 2006) for adaptive lasso penalized linear regression. 1. w(j) <- |beta_ols(j)|^(-gamma) gamma>0 and j = 1,...,p 2. define x_new(j) <- x(j)*w(j) 3. apply LARS to solve modified lasso problem out.adalasso <- lars(X_new,y,type="lasso") or enet(X_new,

Hi, I know how to use LASSO for model selection based on the Cp criterion. I heard that we can also use cross validation as a criterion too. I used cv.lars to give me the lowest predicted error & fraction. But I'm short of a step to arrive at the number of variables to be included in the final model. How do we do that? Is it the predict.lars function? i tried >

Dear list, I have been trying to apply a simple lasso regression on a 10-element vector, just to see how this method works so as to later implement it on larger datasets. I thus create an input vector x: * x=rnorm(10)* I add some noise * noise=runif(n=10, min=-0.1, max=0.1)* and I create a simple linear model which calculates my output vector y * y=2*x+1+noise* I then do
