Ridge regression with the alpha-transformation plot: Ridge regression plot

Description

A plot of the regularised regression coefficients is shown.

Usage

alfaridge.plot(y, x, a, lambda = seq(0, 5, by = 0.1) )

Arguments

y

A numeric vector containing the values of the target variable. If the values are proportions or percentages, i.e. strictly within 0 and 1 they are mapped into R using the logit transformation. In any case, they must be continuous only.

x

A numeric matrix containing the continuous variables.

a

The value of the \(\alpha\)-transformation. It has to be between -1 and 1. If there are zero values in the data, you must use a strictly positive value.

lambda

A grid of values of the regularisation parameter \(\lambda\).

Value

A plot with the values of the coefficients as a function of \(\lambda\).

Details

For every value of \(\lambda\) the coefficients are obtained. They are plotted versus the \(\lambda\) values.
