similar to: glmnet - choosing the number of features

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, My apologies for asking this question, but could not find the answer elsewhere. I understand the glmnet package uses Fortran code. For example, the lognet.R file includes the lines of code shown below. But how can I see the Fortran code that is being referenced in the code below? Is that provided somewhere in the package source code? .Fortran("lognet",

Usually when using raw glmnet I let the implementation choose the lambdas. However when training via caret::train the lambda values are predetermined. Is there any way to have caret defer the lambda choices to caret::train and thus choose the optimal lambda dynamically? -- Yang Zhang http://yz.mit.edu/

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

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

Hi Everybody! I must start with a declaration that I am a sparse user of R. I am creating a credit scorecard using a dataset which has a variable depicting actual credit history (good/bad) and 41 other variables of yes/no type. The procedure I am asked to follow is to use a penalized logistic procedure for variable selection. I have located the package "glmnet" which gives the complete

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

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

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

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

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

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
