In islasso: The Induced Smoothed Lasso

The Induced Smoothed lasso: A practical framework for hypothesis testing in high dimensional regression

Description

This package implements an induced smoothed approach for hypothesis testing in lasso regression.

Details

Package:	islasso
Type:	Package
Version:	1.5.1
Date:	2023-05-12
License:	GPL-2

islasso is used to fit generalized linear models with a L1-penalty on (some) regression coefficients. Along with point estimates, the main advantage is to return the full covariance matrix of estimate. The resulting standard errors can be used to make inference in the lasso framework. The main function is islasso and the correspoinding fitter function islasso.fit, and many auxiliary functions are implemented to summarize and visualize results: summary.islasso, predict.islasso, logLik.islasso, deviance.islasso, residuals.islasso.

islasso.path is used to fit Fit a generalized linear model via the Induced Smoothed Lasso. The regularization path is computed for the lasso or elasticnet penalty at a grid of values for the regularization parameter lambda. Along with coefficients profile, the main advantage is to return also the standard errors profile. The resulting standard errors can be used to make inference in the lasso framework. The main function is islasso.path and the correspoinding fitter function islasso.path.fit, and many auxiliary functions are implemented to summarize and visualize results: summary.islasso.path, predict.islasso.path, logLik.islasso.path, deviance.islasso.path, residuals.islasso.path, coef.islasso.path, fitted.islasso.path.

Examples

set.seed(1)
n <- 100
p <- 30
p1 <- 10  #number of nonzero coefficients
coef.veri <- sort(round(c(seq(.5, 3, l=p1/2), seq(-1, -2, l=p1/2)), 2))
sigma <- 1

coef <- c(coef.veri, rep(0, p-p1))

X <- matrix(rnorm(n*p), n, p)
mu <- drop(X%*%coef)
y <- mu + rnorm(n, 0,sigma)

o <- islasso.path(y ~ ., data = data.frame(y = y, X), 
                  family = gaussian())
temp <- GoF.islasso.path(o) 

lambda <- temp$lambda.min["BIC"]
o <- islasso(y ~ ., data = data.frame(y = y, X), 
             family = gaussian(), lambda = lambda)
o
summary(o, pval = .05)
