# SelvarLearnLasso: Regularization for variable selection in discriminant... In SelvarMix: Regularization for Variable Selection in Model-Based Clustering and Discriminant Analysis

## Description

This function implements the variable selection in discriminant analysis using a lasso ranking on the variables as described in Sedki et al (2014). The variable ranking step uses the penalized EM algorithm of Zhou et al (2009) (adapted in Sedki et al (2014) for the discriminant analysis settings). A testing sample can be used to compute the averaged classification error rate.

## Usage

 1 2 SelvarLearnLasso(x, z, lambda, rho, type, rank, hsize, models, rmodel, imodel, xtest, ztest, nbcores) 

## Arguments

 x matrix containing quantitative data. Rows correspond to observations and columns correspond to variables z an integer vector or a factor corresponding to labels of data. lambda numeric listing of tuning parameters for \ell_1 mean penalty rho numeric listing of tuning parameters for \ell_1 precision matrix penalty type character defining the type of ranking procedure, must be "lasso" or "likelihood". Default is "lasso" rank integer listing the rank of variables with (the length of this vector must be equal to the number of variables in the dataset) hsize optional parameter make less strength the forward and backward algorithms to select S and W sets models a Rmixmod [Model] object defining the list of models to run. The models Gaussian_pk_L_C, Gaussian_pk_Lk_C, Gaussian_pk_L_Ck, and Gaussian_pk_Lk_Ck are called by default (see mixmodGaussianModel() in Rmixmod package to specify other models) rmodel list of character defining the covariance matrix form for the linear regression of U on the R set of variable. Possible values: "LI" for spherical form, "LB" for diagonal form and "LC" for general form. Possible values: "LI", "LB", "LC", c("LI", "LB") , c("LI", "LC"), c("LB", "LC") and c("LI", "LB", "LC"). Default is c("LI", "LB", "LC") imodel list of character defining the covariance matrix form for independent variables W. Possible values: "LI" for spherical form and "LB" for diagonal form. Possible values: "LI", "LB", c("LI", "LB"). Default is c("LI", LB") xtest matrix containing quantitative testing data. Rows correspond to observations and columns correspond to variables ztest an integer vector or a factor of size number of testing observations. Each cell corresponds to a cluster affectation nbcores number of CPUs to be used when parallel computing is used (default is 2)

## Value

 S  The selected set of relevant clustering variables R  The selected subset of regressors U  The selected set of redundant variables W  The selected set of independent variables criterionValue The criterion value for the selected model
 model The selected covariance model
 rmodel The selected covariance form for the regression imodel The selected covariance form for the independent variables parameters Rmixmod [Parameter] object containing all mixture parameters regparameters Matrix containing all regression coefficients, each column is the regression coefficients of one redundant variable on the selected R set proba Optional : matrix containing the conditional probabilities of belonging to each cluster for the testing observations partition Optional: vector containing the cluster assignments of the testing observations according to the Maximum-a-Posteriori rule. When testing dataset is missed, we use the training dataset as testing one error  Optional : error rate done by the predicted partition (obtained using Maximum-A-Posteriori rule). When testing dataset is missed, we use the training dataset as testing one
