cv.msda: Cross-validation for msda

In msda: Multi-Class Sparse Discriminant Analysis

Cross-validation for msda

Description

Does k-fold cross-validation for msda, returns a value for lambda.

Usage

cv.msda(x, y, nfolds = 5, lambda = NULL, lambda.opt = "min", ...)

Arguments

x	matrix of predictors, of dimension N*p; each row is an observation vector.
y	response variable. This argument should be a factor for classification.
nfolds	number of folds - default is 5. Although nfolds can be as large as the sample size (leave-one-out CV), it is not recommended for large datasets. Smallest value allowable is nfolds=3.
lambda	optional user-supplied lambda sequence; default is NULL, and msda chooses its own sequence.
lambda.opt	If choose "min", the smallest lambda that gives minimum cross validation error cvm will be returned. If choose "max", the largest lambda that gives minimum cross validation error cvm will be returned.
...	other arguments that can be passed to msda.

Details

The function runs msda nfolds+1 times; the first to get the lambda sequence, and then the remainder to compute the fit with each of the folds omitted. The average error and standard deviation over the folds are computed.

Value

an object of class cv.msda is returned, which is a list with the ingredients of the cross-validation fit.

lambda	the values of lambda used in the fits.
cvm	the mean cross-validated error - a vector of length length(lambda).
cvsd	estimate of standard error of cvm.
lambda.min	the optimal value of lambda that gives minimum cross validation error cvm.
lambda.1se	the largest value of lambda such that error is within 1 standard error of the minimum.
msda.fit	a fitted msda object for the full data.
