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 user, I am looking for a code on double cross validation in LASSO , one for optimizing the parameter and other one is for MSEP. If any one have it, please foroward to me. I am using different package like LARS, chemometric etc. Thanks in advance Alex [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi, I am trying to do a lasso regression using the lars package with the following data (see attached): FastestTime WinPercentage PlacePercentage ShowPercentage BreakAverage FinishAverage Time7Average Time3Average Finish 116.90 0.14 0.14 0.29 4.43 3.29 117.56 117.77 5.00 116.23 0.29 0.43 0.14 6.14 2.14 116.84 116.80 2.00 116.41 0.00 0.14 0.29 5.71 3.71 117.24

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, 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

Hi all, I have a data set containing variables LOSS, GDP, HPI and UE. (I have attached it in case it is required). Having renamed the variables as l,g,h and u, I wish to run a Lasso Regression with l as the dependent variable and all the other 3 as the independent variables. data=read.table("data.txt", header=T) l=data$LOSS h=data$HPI u=data$UE g=data$GDP matrix=data.frame(l,g,h,u)

Hi all. Sorry for the long email. I have been trying to find someone local to work on this with me, without much luck. I went in to our local stats consulting service here, and the guy there told me that I already know more about model selection than he does. :-< He pointed me towards another professor that can perhaps help, but that prof is busy until mid-June, so I want to get as much

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

Hi! This is my first time posting. I've read the general rules and guidelines, but please bear with me if I make some fatal error in posting. Anyway, I have a continuous response and 29 predictors made up of continuous variables and nominal and ordinal categorical variables. I'd like to do lasso on these, but I get an error. The way I am using "lars" doesn't allow for the

Hi All, I am trying to fit a piecewise lasso regression, but package Segmented does not work with Lars objects. Does any know of any package or implementation of piecewise lasso regression? Thanks, Lucas

Dear useRs (called Frank Harrell, most likely), after having preached for years to my medical colleagues to be cautious with stepwise selection procedures, they chanted back asking for an alternative when using mixed models. There is a half dozen laXXX packages around for all types of linear models, but as far I see there is none for mixed models such as lme. Even boot.stepAIC (which 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 <-

Hi, perhaps you can help me to find out, how to find the best Lambda in a LASSO-model. I have a feature selection problem with 150 proteins potentially predicting Cancer or Noncancer. With a lasso model fit.glm <- glmpath(x=as.matrix(X), y=target, family="binomial") (target is 0, 1 <- Cancer non cancer, X the proteins, numerical in expression), I get following path (PICTURE

Hello, I'm trying to select features of cetain numbers(like 100 out of 1000) via LASSO, based on multinomial model, however, it seems the glmnet package provides a very sparse estimation of coefficients(most of coefficients are 0), which selects very few number of variables, like only 10, based on my easy dataset. I try to connect the choice of lambda to the selecting

Hi everyone, I have a large dataset with missing values. I tried using glmnet, but it seems that it cannot handle NA values in the design matrix. I also tried lars, but I get an error too. Does anyone know of any package for computing the lasso solution which handles NA values?

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]]

In the package lasso2, there is a Prostate Data. To find coefficients in the prostate cancer example we could impose L1 constraint on the parameters. code is: data(Prostate) p.mean <- apply(Prostate, 5,mean) pros <- sweep(Prostate, 5, p.mean, "-") p.std <- apply(pros, 5, var) pros <- sweep(pros, 5, sqrt(p.std),"/") pros[, "lpsa"] <-

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 have used following code but everytime I encounter a problem of not having coefficients for all the variables in the predictor set. # code rm(list=ls()) library(caret) # generating response and design matrix X<-matrix(rnorm(50*100),nrow=50) y<-rnorm(50*1) # Applying caret package con<-trainControl(method="cv",number=10) data<-NULL data<- train(X,y,

I also hope to get the code of using lasso method in the cox model.Could you please send me one? Thank you so much!!!
