incidenceMatrix: Compute the incidence matrix indicating group memebership

In grpregOverlap: Penalized Regression Models with Overlapping Grouped Covariates

Description

Compute a p-by-J sparse matrix indicating which group(s) the variable(s) belong(s) to.

Usage

incidenceMatrix(X, group)

Arguments

X	The design matrix, without an intercept, as in grpregOverlap.
group	A list of vectors containing group information, as in grpregOverlap.

Details

This function is intended to provide an interface for users to construct the so-called incidence matrix, denoted as M, with dimension p-by-J, where p is the number of variables, and J is the number of groups. If variable i is contained by group j, then M[i, j] = 1; otherwise, M[i, j] = 0.

Note that since a variable can be contained by multiple groups, so the sum of row M[i, ] can be larger than 1.

Value

A sparse p-by-J matrix as described above.
