elasticnet (version 1.0-3)

predict.enet: Make predictions or extract coefficients from a fitted elastic net model

Description

While enet() produces the entire path of solutions, predict.enet allows one to extract a prediction at a particular point along the path.

Usage

predict.enet(object, newx, s, type = c("fit", "coefficients"), mode =
c("step","fraction", "norm", "penalty"),naive=FALSE, ...)

Arguments

object

A fitted enet object

newx

If type="fit", then newx should be the x values at which the fit is required. If type="coefficients", then newx can be omitted.

s

a value, or vector of values, indexing the path. Its values depends on the mode= argument. By default (mode="step").

type

If type="fit", predict returns the fitted values. If type="coefficients", predict returns the coefficients. Abbreviations allowed.

mode

Mode="step" means the s= argument indexes the LARS-EN step number, and the coefficients will be returned corresponding to the values corresponding to step s. If mode="fraction", then s should be a number between 0 and 1, and it refers to the ratio of the

naive

IF naive is True, then the naive elastic net fit is returned.

...

Additonal arguments for generic print.

Value

• Either a vector/matrix of fitted values, or a vector/matrix of coefficients.

Details

Starting from zero, the LARS-EN algorithm provides the entire sequence of coefficients and fits.
