.prepare:
pre-processes sequencing data by
removing features with a low total abundance,
and adjusting for different library sizes;
obtains two transformations of the same data
by (1) binarising the counts with some cutoff
and (2) taking the Anscombe transform;
scales all covariates to mean zero and unit variance.
.simulate:
simulates the response by
exploiting two experimental covariate matrices;
allows for different numbers of non-zero coefficients for X and Z.
.predict:
estimates the predictive performance of different lasso models
(standard X and/or Z, adaptive X and/or Z, paired X and Z);
minimises the loss function "deviance", but also returns other loss functions;
supports logistic and Cox regression.
.select:
estimates the selective performance of different lasso models
(standard X and/or Z, adaptive X and/or Z, paired X and Z);
limits the number of covariates to \(10\);
returns the number of selected covariates,
and the number of correctly selected covariates.
