pensim (version 1.3.6)

pensim-package: Functions and data for simulation of high-dimensional data and parallelized repeated penalized regression

Description

Simulation of continuous, correlated high-dimensional data with time-to-event or binary response, and parallelized functions for Lasso, Ridge, and Elastic Net penalized regression model training and validation by split-sample or nested cross-validation. See the help page for opt.nested.crossval() for the most extensive usage examples.

Examples

set.seed(9)
## 
## create some data,  with one of a group of five correlated variables
## having an association with the binary outcome:
## 
x <- create.data(
  nvars = c(10, 3),
  cors = c(0, 0.8),
  associations = c(0, 2),
  firstonly = c(TRUE, TRUE),
  nsamples = 50,
  response = "binary",
  logisticintercept = 0.5
)
x$summary
##
##predictor data frame and binary response vector
##
pen.data <- x$data[, -match("outcome", colnames(x$data))]
response <- x$data[, match("outcome", colnames(x$data))]
## lasso regression.  Note that epsilon=1e-2 is passed onto optL1,  and
## reduces the precision of the tuning compared to the default 1e-10.
output <-
  opt1D(
    nsim = 1,

cc <-
