The package fits the linear model with tree-based lasso regularization proposed in Yan and Bien (2018) using alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM). The ADMM algorithm is proposed in Algorithm 1 of the same paper. The package also provides tools for tuning regularization parameters, making predictions from the fitted model and visualizing recovered groups of the covariates in a dendrogram.
Its main functions are rarefit
, rarefit.cv
,
rarefit.predict
, group.recover
and
group.plot
.
