Elastic net model paths for some generalized linear models

Description

This package fits lasso and elastic-net model paths for regression, logistic and multinomial regression using coordinate descent. The algorithm is extremely fast, and exploits sparsity in the input x matrix where it exists. A variety of predictions can be made from the fitted models.

Details

Package:	glmnet
Type:	Package
Version:	1.0
Date:	2008-05-14
License:	What license is it under?

Very simple to use. Accepts x,y data for regression models, and produces the regularization path over a grid of values for the tuning parameter lambda. Only 5 functions: glmnet
predict.glmnet
plot.glmnet
print.glmnet
coef.glmnet

Examples


x = matrix(rnorm(100 * 20), 100, 20)
y = rnorm(100)
g2 = sample(1:2, 100, replace = TRUE)
g4 = sample(1:4, 100, replace = TRUE)
fit1 = glmnet(x, y)
predict(fit1, newx = x[1:5, ], s = c(0.01, 0.005))
predict(fit1, type = "coef")
plot(fit1, xvar = "lambda")
fit2 = glmnet(x, g2, family = "binomial")
predict(fit2, type = "response", newx = x[2:5, ])
predict(fit2, type = "nonzero")
fit3 = glmnet(x, g4, family = "multinomial")
predict(fit3, newx = x[1:3, ], type = "response", s = 0.01)
