alfaridge.plot: Ridge regression plot

In Compositional: Compositional Data Analysis

Ridge regression plot

Description

A plot of the regularised regression coefficients is shown.

Usage

alfaridge.plot(y, x, a, lambda = seq(0, 5, by = 0.1) )

Arguments

y	A numeric vector containing the values of the target variable. If the values are proportions or percentages, i.e. strictly within 0 and 1 they are mapped into R using the logit transformation. In any case, they must be continuous only.
x	A numeric matrix containing the continuous variables.
a	The value of the α-transformation. It has to be between -1 and 1. If there are zero values in the data, you must use a strictly positive value.
lambda	A grid of values of the regularisation parameter λ.

Details

For every value of λ the coefficients are obtained. They are plotted versus the λ values.

Value

A plot with the values of the coefficients as a function of λ.
