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 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

Hello list. I was trying to see some of the code for plot.glmnet in package glmnet (this function name is in the documentation). After loading the library, I tried the obvious typing in the name, but I received a message telling me it could not be found. So I fiddled around a little, and noticed that R does not recognize ''plot'' as a generic function, and as such,

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

While building/checking a package of mine that depends on glmnet, I got the following message: * checking whether the name space can be loaded with stated dependencies ...Warn ing: running command ''"C:/Users/nisabbe/Documents/R/R-2.13.1/bin/i386/Rterm.exe" R_DEFAULT_PACKAGES=NULL --vanilla --slave -f C:\Users\nisabbe\AppData\Local\Tem p\RtmpZpjj07\Rin121ae93''

Dear all, I've recently had some issues getting my package to successfully "check". This was on R-Forge, so it's not obvious for me to provide SessionInfo or the likes (if necessary, Stefan can chime in?). After some research (mainly by Stefan Theussler, driving force behind R-Forge), this turned out to be the root cause: On R-Forge, the version of R installed was the

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 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

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

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 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

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

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

Hi, I was trying to install package glmnet in R, but failed and it show such messages: * Installing *source* package glmnet ... This package has only been tested with gfortran.

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

Hi, all: Does anybody know how to avoid the intercept term in cv.glmnet coefficient? When I say "avoid", it does not mean using coef()[-1] to omit the printout of intercept, it means no intercept at all when doing the analysis. Thanks. [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

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=',');

All, For my understanding, I wanted to see if I can get glmnet predictions using both the predict function and also by multiplying coefficients by the variable matrix. This is not worked out. Could anyone suggest where I am going wrong? I understand that I may not have the mean/intercept correct, but the scaling is also off, which suggests a bigger mistake. Thanks for your help.
