Description

An auxilary function calculating the group weighting matrix grpWTs required when calling the MSGlasso function.

Usage

1
Cal_grpWTs(P, Q, G, R, gmax, PQ.grps)

Arguments

P

a positive interger indicating number of predictor variables

Q

a positive interger indicating number of response variables

G

a positive interger indicating number of predictor groups

R

a positive interger indicating number of response groups

gmax

a positive interger indicating the max number of different groups a single variable (either a predictor or response variable) belongs to.

PQ.grps

a matrix of (p+q) by (gmax+1), with each row starting with group indicators that row variable belongs to, and followed by 999's till the row is filled.

Details

Generates the required input group weighting matrix grpWTs when calling the main MSGlasso function. The grpWTs is a g by r matrix containing the adaptive weighting scores for each group. MSGLasso.grpWTs use the square root of the group size (number of entries the group contains) as the weight for each group.

Value

A list with one components:

grpWTs

the grpWTs matrix generated
