Stepwise Split Regularized Regression

Description

stepSplitReg performs stepwise split regularized regression.

Usage

stepSplitReg(
  x,
  y,
  n_models = NULL,
  max_variables = NULL,
  keep = 1,
  model_criterion = c("F-test", "RSS")[1],
  stop_criterion = c("F-test", "pR2", "aR2", "R2", "Fixed")[1],
  stop_parameter = 0.05,
  shrinkage = TRUE,
  alpha = 3/4,
  include_intercept = TRUE,
  n_lambda = 100,
  tolerance = 0.001,
  max_iter = 1e+05,
  n_folds = 10,
  model_weights = c("Equal", "Proportional", "Stacking")[1]
)

Arguments

x	Design matrix.
y	Response vector.
n_models	Number of models into which the variables are split.
max_variables	Maximum number of variables that a model can contain.
keep	Proportion of models to keep based on their individual cross-validated errors. Default is 1.
model_criterion	Criterion for adding a variable to a model. Must be one of c("F-test", "RSS"). Default is "F-test".
stop_criterion	Criterion for determining when a model is saturated. Must be one of c("F-test", "pR2", "aR2", "R2", "Fixed"). Default is "F-test".
stop_parameter	Parameter value for the stopping criterion. Default is 0.05 for "F-test".
shrinkage	TRUE or FALSE parameter for shrinkage of the final models. Default is TRUE.
alpha	Elastic net mixing parmeter for model shrinkage. Default is 3/4.
include_intercept	TRUE or FALSE parameter for the inclusion of an intercept term.
n_lambda	Number of candidates for the sparsity penalty parameter. Default is 100.
tolerance	Convergence criteria for the coefficients. Default is 1e-3.
max_iter	Maximum number of iterations in the algorithm. Default is 1e5.
n_folds	Number of cross-validation folds. Default is 10.
model_weights	Criterion to determine the weights of the model for prediciton. Must be one of c("Equal", "Proportional", "Stacking"). Default is "Equal".
