lasso.cv: Select Predictors via (10-fold) Cross-Validation of the Lasso

In hdi: High-Dimensional Inference

Select Predictors via (10-fold) Cross-Validation of the Lasso

Description

Performs (n-fold) cross-validation of the lasso (via cv.glmnet) and determines the prediction optimal set of parameters.

Usage

lasso.cv(x, y,
         nfolds = 10,
         grouped = nrow(x) > 3*nfolds,
         ...)

Arguments

x	numeric design matrix (without intercept) of dimension n \times p.
y	response vector of length n.
nfolds	the number of folds to be used in the cross-validation
grouped	corresponds to the grouped argument to cv.glmnet. This has a smart default such that glmnet does not give a warning about too small sample size.
...	further arguments to be passed to cv.glmnet.

Details

The function basically only calls cv.glmnet, see source code.

Value

Vector of selected predictors.

Examples

x <- matrix(rnorm(100 * 1000), nrow = 100, ncol = 1000)
y <- x[,1] * 2 + x[,2] * 2.5 + rnorm(100)
sel <- lasso.cv(x, y)
