cv.l2.reg: k-fold Cross Validation

In CDLasso: Coordinate Descent Algorithms for Lasso Penalized L1, L2, and Logistic Regression

Description

k-fold Cross Validation for L2 Cyclic Coordinate Descent

Usage

cv.l2.reg(x, y, k, lam.vec)

Arguments

x	p x n design matrix - Note that the rows of X correspond to predictors and the columns to cases.
y	Outcome of length n
k	Number of folds for k-fold cross validation
lam.vec	Vector of penalization parameters

Details

K-fold cross validation to select optimal lambda for use in cyclic coordinate descent for L2 regression l2.reg. The optimal value is considered the lambda value that retuns the lowest prediction error over the cross validation. If more than one lambda value give the minumum testing error, the smallest lambda is selected. Plot of the cross validation can be viewed through plot.cv.l2.reg

Value

k	The value of K used for the K-fold cross validation.
lam.vec	The values of lambda tested.
mean.error	The mean error corresponding to each lambda across k-folds
lam.opt	The determined lambda value among lam.vec that returns the smallest prediction error. This value is the optimal lambda value for use in l2.reg.
error.cv	The prediction error matrix returned by cross validation method.
num.pred	The number of predictors selected for the corresponding lambda during the cross validation.
