In aalfons/sparseLTSEigen: RcppEigen back end for sparse least trimmed squares regression

                        RcppEigen back end for sparse least trimmed
                        squares regression

Note

Package sparseLTSEigen provides an alternative back end for sparse least trimmed squares regression from package robustHD. The back end built into robustHD uses the C++ library Armadillo, whereas this back end uses the C++ library Eigen. The latter is faster, but currently does not work on 32-bit R for Windows.

When sparseLTSEigen is loaded, its back end is used automatically for sparse least trimmed squares regression, except on 32-bit R for Windows.

Examples

# example is not high-dimensional to keep computation time low
library("mvtnorm")
set.seed(1234)  # for reproducibility
n <- 100  # number of observations
p <- 25   # number of variables
beta <- rep.int(c(1, 0), c(5, p-5))  # coefficients
sigma <- 0.5      # controls signal-to-noise ratio
epsilon <- 0.1    # contamination level
Sigma <- 0.5^t(sapply(1:p, function(i, j) abs(i-j), 1:p))
x <- rmvnorm(n, sigma=Sigma)    # predictor matrix
e <- rnorm(n)                   # error terms
i <- 1:ceiling(epsilon*n)       # observations to be contaminated
e[i] <- e[i] + 5                # vertical outliers
y <- c(x %*% beta + sigma * e)  # response
x[i,] <- x[i,] + 5              # bad leverage points

## fit sparse LTS model
# since package sparseLTSEigen is loaded, its back end based on 
# the C++ library Eigen is used rather than the back end built 
# into package robustHD, except on 32-bit R for Windows
fit <- sparseLTS(x, y, lambda = 0.05, mode = "fraction")
coef(fit, zeros = FALSE)
