plot_glmnet: Plot a glmnet model

In plotmo: Plot a Model's Residuals, Response, and Partial Dependence Plots

Plot a glmnet model

Description

Plot the coefficient paths of a glmnet model.

An enhanced version of plot.glmnet.

Usage

plot_glmnet(x = stop("no 'x' argument"),
           xvar = c("rlambda", "lambda", "norm", "dev"),
           label = 10, nresponse = NA, grid.col = NA, s = NA, ...)

Arguments

x	The glmnet model.
xvar	What gets plotted along the x axis. One of: "rlambda" (default) decreasing log lambda (lambda is the glmnet penalty) "lambda" log lambda "norm" L1-norm of the coefficients "dev" percent deviance explained The default xvar differs from plot.glmnet to allow s to be plotted when this function is invoked by plotres.
label	Default 10. Number of variable names displayed on the right of the plot. One of: FALSE display no variables TRUE display all variables integer (default) number of variables to display (default is 10)
nresponse	Which response to plot for multiple response models.
grid.col	Default NA. Color of the optional grid, for example grid.col="lightgray".
s	For use by plotres. The x position of the gray vertical line indicating the lambda s passed by plotres to predict.glmnet to calculate the residuals. Plotres defaults to s=0.
...	Dot arguments are passed internally to matplot. Use col to change the color of curves; for example col=1:4. The six default colors are intended to be distinguishable yet harmonious (to my eye at least), with adjacent colors as different as easily possible.

Note

Limitations

For multiple response models use the nresponse argument to specify which response should be plotted. (Currently each response must be plotted one by one.)

The type.coef argument of plot.glmnet is currently not supported.

Currently xvar="norm" is not supported for multiple response models (you will get an error message).

Interaction with plotres

When invoking this function via plotres, prefix any argument of plotres with w1. to tell plotres to pass the argument to this function. For example give w1.col=1:4 to plotres (plain col=1:4 in this context gets passed to the residual plots).

Acknowledgments

This function is based on plot.glmnet in the glmnet package authored by Jerome Friedman, Trevor Hastie, and Rob Tibshirani.

This function incorporates the function spread.labs from the orphaned package TeachingDemos written by Greg Snow.

Examples

if (require(glmnet)) {
    x <- matrix(rnorm(100 * 10), 100, 10)   # n=100 p=10
    y <- x[,1] + x[,2] + 2 * rnorm(100)     # y depends only on x[,1] and x[,2]
    mod <- glmnet(x, y)

    plot_glmnet(mod)

    # plotres(mod)                          # plot the residuals
}
