msgps (Degrees of Freedom of Elastic Net, Adaptive Lasso and Generalized Elastic Net)

Description

This package computes the degrees of freedom of the lasso, elastic net, generalized elastic net and adaptive lasso based on the generalized path seeking algorithm. The optimal model can be selected by model selection criteria including Mallows' Cp, bias-corrected AIC (AICc), generalized cross validation (GCV) and BIC.

Usage

msgps(X,y,penalty="enet", alpha=0, gamma=1, lambda=0.001, tau2, STEP=20000, 
STEP.max=200000,  DFtype="MODIFIED",  p.max=300, intercept=TRUE, stand.coef=FALSE)

Arguments

X	predictor matrix
y	response vector
penalty	The penalty term. The "enet" indicates the elastic net: α/2||β||_2^2+(1-α)||β||_1. Note that alpha=0 is the lasso penalty. The "genet" is the generalized elastic net: log(α+(1-α)||β||_1). The "alasso" is the adaptive lasso, which is a weighted version of the lasso given by w_i||β||_1, where w_i is 1/(\hat{β}_i)^{γ}. Here γ>0 is a tuning parameter, and \hat{β}_i is the ridge estimate with regularization parameter being λ ≥ 0.
alpha	The value of α on "enet" and "genet" penalty.
gamma	The value of γ on "alasso".
lambda	The value of regularization parameter λ ≥ 0 for ridge regression, which is used to calculate the weight vector of "alasso" penalty. Note that the ridge estimates can be ordinary least squared estimates when lambda=0.
tau2	Estimator of error variance for Mallows' Cp. The default is the unbiased estimator of error vairance of the most complex model. When the unbiased estimator of error vairance of the most complex model is not available (e.g., the number of variables exceeds the number of samples), tau2 is the variance of response vector.
STEP	The approximate number of steps.
STEP.max	The number of steps in this algorithm can often exceed STEP. When the number of steps exceeds STEP.max, this algorithm stops.
DFtype	"MODIFIED" or "NAIVE". The "MODIFIED" update is much more efficient thatn "NAIVE" update.
p.max	If the number of selected variables exceeds p.max, the algorithm stops.
intercept	When intercept is TRUE, the result of intercept is included.
stand.coef	When stand.coef is TRUE, the standardized coefficient is displayed.

predict(fit,X[1:10,]) #predict values at t selected by model selection criteria
predict(fit,X[1:10,],c(0, 0.5, 2.5)) #predict values at some values of t
plot(fit,criterion="cp") #plot the solution path with a model selected by Cp criterion
