ml.shrink: Estimation of a Shrinkage Factor for Logistic Regression

Description

Estimate a shrinkage factor for shrinkage-after-estimation techniques, with application to logistic regression models.

Usage

ml.shrink(b, dat)

Arguments

b

1 x m matrix of regression coefficients, derived by resampling or sample-splitting

dat

a p x m data matrix, where the final column is a binary outcome variable. This dataset acts as a "test set" or "validation set".

Value

the function returns a single shrinkage factor

Details

This function works together with bootval, splitval, kcrossval and loocval to estimate a shrinkage factor. For further details, see References. This function should not be used directly, and instead should be called via one of the aforementioned shrinkage-after-estimation functions.
