# R/regnet.R In regnet: Network-Based Regularization for Generalized Linear Models

#### Documented in regnet

#' fit a regression for given lambda with network-based regularization
#'
#' Network-based penalization regression for given values of \eqn{\lambda_{1}} and \eqn{\lambda_{2}}.
#' Typical usage is to have the cv.regnet function compute the optimal lambdas, then provide them to the
#' regnet function. Users could also use MCP or Lasso.
#'
#' @keywords models
#' @param X matrix of predictors without intercept. Each row should be an observation vector. A column of 1 will be added to the X matrix
#' by the program as the intercept.
#' @param Y response variable. For response="binary", Y should be a numeric vector with zeros and ones. For response="survival", Y should be a
#' two-column matrix with columns named 'time' and 'status'. The latter is a binary variable, with '1' indicating a event, and '0'
#' indicating censoring.
#' @param response response type. regnet now supports three types of response: "binary", "continuous" and "survival".
#' @param penalty penalty type. regnet provides three choices for the penalty function: "network", "mcp" and "lasso".
#' @param lamb.1 the tuning parameter \eqn{\lambda_{1}} that imposes sparsity.
#' @param lamb.2 the tuning parameter \eqn{\lambda_{2}} that controls the smoothness among coefficient profiles. \eqn{\lambda_{2}} is  needed
#' for network penalty.
#' @param r the regularization parameter in MCP. For binary response, r should be larger than 4.
#' @param clv a value or a vector, indexing variables that are not subject to penalty. clv only works for continuous and survival responses
#' for now, and will be ignored for other types of responses.
#' @param initiation method for initiating the coefficient vector. For binary and continuous response, the default is elastic-net,
#' and for survival response the default is zero.
#' @param alpha.i the elastic-net mixing parameter. The program can use the elastic-net for choosing initial values of
#' the coefficient vector. alpha.i is the elastic-net mixing parameter, with 0 \eqn{\le} alpha.i \eqn{\le} 1. alpha.i=1 is the
#' lasso penalty, and alpha.i=0 is the ridge penalty. If the user chooses a method other than elastic-net for initializing
#' coefficients, alpha.i will be ignored.
#' @param robust logical flag. Whether or not to use robust methods. Robust methods are only available for survival response.
#'
#' @details The current version of regnet supports two types of responses: “binary”, "continuous" and “survival”.
#' regnet(…, response="binary", penalty="network") fits a network-based penalized logistic regression;
#' regnet(…, response="continuous", penalty="network") fits a network-based least square regression;
#' regnet(…, response="survival", penalty="network") fits a robust regularized AFT model using network penalty.
#' Please see the references for more details of the models. By default, regnet uses robust methods for survival response.
#' If users would like to use non-robust methods, simply set robust=FALSE. User could also use MCP or Lasso penalty.
#'
#' The coefficients are always estimated on a standardized X matrix. regnet standardizes each columns of X to have unit variance
#' (using 1/n rather than 1/(n-1) formula). If the coefficients on the original scale are needed, the user can refit a standard model
#' using the subset of variables that have non-zero coefficients.
#'
#' @return a vector of estimated coefficients. Please note that, if there are variables not subject to penalty (indicated by clv),
#' the order of returned vector is c(Intercept, unpenalized coefficients of clv variables, penalized coefficients of other variables).
