# stat.glmnet_lambdasmax: GLM statistics for knockoff In knockoff: The Knockoff Filter for Controlled Variable Selection

 stat.glmnet_lambdasmax R Documentation

## GLM statistics for knockoff

### Description

Computes the signed maximum statistic

W_j = \max(Z_j, \tilde{Z}_j) \cdot \mathrm{sgn}(Z_j - \tilde{Z}_j),

where Z_j and \tilde{Z}_j are the maximum values of λ at which the jth variable and its knockoff, respectively, enter the generalized linear model.

### Usage

stat.glmnet_lambdasmax(X, X_k, y, family = "gaussian", ...)


### Arguments

 X n-by-p matrix of original variables. X_k n-by-p matrix of knockoff variables. y vector of length n, containing the response variables. Quantitative for family="gaussian", or family="poisson" (non-negative counts). For family="binomial" should be either a factor with two levels, or a two-column matrix of counts or proportions (the second column is treated as the target class; for a factor, the last level in alphabetical order is the target class). For family="multinomial", can be a nc>=2 level factor, or a matrix with nc columns of counts or proportions. For either "binomial" or "multinomial", if y is presented as a vector, it will be coerced into a factor. For family="cox", y should be a two-column matrix with columns named 'time' and 'status'. The latter is a binary variable, with '1' indicating death, and '0' indicating right censored. The function Surv() in package survival produces such a matrix. For family="mgaussian", y is a matrix of quantitative responses. family response type (see above). ... additional arguments specific to glmnet (see Details).

### Details

This function uses glmnet to compute the regularization path on a fine grid of λ's.

The additional nlambda parameter can be used to control the granularity of the grid of λ values. The default value of nlambda is 500.

If the family is 'binomial' and a lambda sequence is not provided by the user, this function generates it on a log-linear scale before calling 'glmnet'.

For a complete list of the available additional arguments, see glmnet.

### Value

A vector of statistics W of length p.

### Examples

p=200; n=100; k=15
mu = rep(0,p); Sigma = diag(p)
X = matrix(rnorm(n*p),n)
nonzero = sample(p, k)
beta = 3.5 * (1:p %in% nonzero)
y = X %*% beta + rnorm(n)
knockoffs = function(X) create.gaussian(X, mu, Sigma)

# Basic usage with default arguments
result = knockoff.filter(X, y, knockoff=knockoffs,
statistic=stat.glmnet_lambdasmax)
print(result$selected) # Advanced usage with custom arguments foo = stat.glmnet_lambdasmax k_stat = function(X, X_k, y) foo(X, X_k, y, nlambda=200) result = knockoff.filter(X, y, knockoffs=knockoffs, statistic=k_stat) print(result$selected)
