bsrcv: Variance Estimation with Bootstrap-RCV

In varEst: Variance Estimation

Description

Estimation of error variance using Bootstrap-refitted cross validation method in ultrahigh dimensional dataset.

Usage

bsrcv(x,y,a,b,d,method=c("spam","lasso","lsr"))

Arguments

x	a matrix of markers or explanatory variables, each column contains one marker and each row represents an individual.
y	a column vector of response variable.
a	value of alpha, range is 0<=a<=1 where, a=1 is LASSO penalty and a=0 is Ridge penalty.If variable selection method is LASSO then providing value to a is compulsory. For other methods a should be NULL.
b	number of bootstrap samples.
d	number of variables to be selected from x.
method	variable selection method, user can choose any method among "spam", "lasso", "lsr"

Details

In this method, bootstrap samples are taken from the original datasets and then RCV (Fan et al., 2012) method is applied to each of these bootstrap samples.

Value

Error variance

Examples

## data simulation
marker <- as.data.frame(matrix(NA, ncol =500, nrow = 200))
for(i in 1:500){
marker[i] <- sample(1:3, 200, replace = TRUE, prob = c(1, 2, 1))
}
pheno <- marker[,1]*1.41+marker[,2]*1.41+marker[,3]*1.41+marker[,4]*1.41+marker[,5]*1.41

pheno <- as.matrix(pheno)
marker<- as.matrix(marker)

## estimation of error variance
var <- bsrcv(marker,pheno,1,10,5,"lasso")
