Ridge regression

Description

A plot of the regularised parameters is shown.

Usage

ridge.plot(target, dataset, lambda = seq(0, 5, by = 0.1) ) 

Arguments

target

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 log( target/(1 - target) ). In any case, they must be continuous only.

dataset

A numeric matrix containing the continuous variables. Rows are samples and columns are features.

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.

Examples

#simulate a dataset with continuous data
dataset <- matrix( runif(300 * 20, 1, 20), nrow = 300 ) 
#the target feature is the last column of the dataset as a vector
target <- dataset[, 20]
dataset <- dataset[, -20]
ridge.plot(target, dataset)
