run_lasso_mc_lambda: Lasso multicore tuning.

In autoMrP: Improving MrP with Ensemble Learning

Lasso multicore tuning.

Description

run_lasso_mc_lambda is called from within run_lasso. It tunes using multiple cores.

Usage

run_lasso_mc_lambda(
  y,
  L1.x,
  L2.x,
  L2.unit,
  L2.reg,
  loss.unit,
  loss.fun,
  data,
  cores,
  L2.fe.form,
  L1.re,
  lambda
)

Arguments

y	Outcome variable. A character vector containing the column names of the outcome variable. A character scalar containing the column name of the outcome variable in survey.
L1.x	Individual-level covariates. A character vector containing the column names of the individual-level variables in survey and census used to predict outcome y. Note that geographic unit is specified in argument L2.unit.
L2.x	Context-level covariates. A character vector containing the column names of the context-level variables in survey and census used to predict outcome y. To exclude context-level variables, set L2.x = NULL.
L2.unit	Geographic unit. A character scalar containing the column name of the geographic unit in survey and census at which outcomes should be aggregated.
L2.reg	Geographic region. A character scalar containing the column name of the geographic region in survey and census by which geographic units are grouped (L2.unit must be nested within L2.reg). Default is NULL.
loss.unit	Loss function unit. A character-valued scalar indicating whether performance loss should be evaluated at the level of individual respondents (individuals), geographic units (L2 units) or at both levels. Default is c("individuals", "L2 units"). With multiple loss units, parameters are ranked for each loss unit and the loss unit with the lowest rank sum is chosen. Ties are broken according to the order in the search grid.
loss.fun	Loss function. A character-valued scalar indicating whether prediction loss should be measured by the mean squared error (MSE), the mean absolute error (MAE), binary cross-entropy (cross-entropy), mean squared false error (msfe), the f1 score (f1), or a combination thereof. Default is c("MSE", "cross-entropy","msfe", "f1"). With multiple loss functions, parameters are ranked for each loss function and the parameter combination with the lowest rank sum is chosen. Ties are broken according to the order in the search grid.
data	Data for cross-validation. A list of k data.frames, one for each fold to be used in k-fold cross-validation.
cores	The number of cores to be used. An integer indicating the number of processor cores used for parallel computing. Default is 1.
L2.fe.form	The fixed effects part of the Lasso classifier formula. The formula is inherited from run_lasso.
L1.re	A list of random effects for the Lasso classifier formula. The formula is inherited from run_lasso.
lambda	Lasso penalty parameter. A numeric vector of non-negative values. The penalty parameter controls the shrinkage of the context-level variables in the lasso model. Default is a sequence with minimum 0.1 and maximum 250 that is equally spaced on the log-scale. The number of values is controlled by the lasso.n.iter parameter.

Value

The cross-validation errors for all models. A list.
