cv.irglmreg_fit: Internal function of cross-validation for irglmreg

Description

Internal function to conduct k-fold cross-validation for irglmreg, produces a plot, and returns cross-validated loss values for lambda

Usage

cv.irglmreg_fit(x, y, weights, offset, lambda=NULL, balance=TRUE, cfun=4, dfun=1, 
                s=1.5, nfolds=10, foldid, type = c("loss", "error"), plot.it=TRUE,
                se=TRUE, n.cores=2, trace=FALSE, parallel=FALSE, ...)

Value

an object of class "cv.irglmreg" is returned, which is a list with the ingredients of the cross-validation fit.

fit

a fitted irglmreg object for the full data.

residmat

matrix of loss values or errors with row values for lambda and column values for kth cross-validation

cv

The mean cross-validated loss values or errors - a vector of length length(lambda).

cv.error

estimate of standard error of cv.

foldid

an optional vector of values between 1 and nfold identifying what fold each observation is in.

lambda

a vector of lambda values

lambda.which

index of lambda that gives minimum cv value.

lambda.optim

value of lambda that gives minimum cv value.

Arguments

x

x matrix as in irglmreg.

y

response y as in irglmreg.

weights

Observation weights; defaults to 1 per observation

offset

this can be used to specify an a priori known component to be included in the linear predictor during fitting. This should be NULL or a numeric vector of length equal to the number of cases. Currently only one offset term can be included in the formula.

lambda

Optional user-supplied lambda sequence; default is NULL, and irglmreg chooses its own sequence

balance

for dfun=4, 5, 6 only

cfun

a number from 1 to 7, type of convex cap (concave) function

dfun

a number from 1, 4-7, type of convex downward function

s

nonconvex loss tuning parameter for robust regression and classification.

nfolds

number of folds >=3, default is 10

foldid

an optional vector of values between 1 and nfold identifying what fold each observation is in. If supplied, nfold can be missing and will be ignored.

type

cross-validation criteria. For type="loss", loss function values and type="error" is misclassification error.

plot.it

a logical value, to plot the estimated log-likelihood values if TRUE.

se

a logical value, to plot with standard errors.

n.cores

The number of CPU cores to use. The cross-validation loop will attempt to send different CV folds off to different cores.

trace

a logical value, print progress of cross validation or not

parallel

a logical value, parallel computing or not

...

Other arguments that can be passed to irglmreg.

Details

The function runs irglmreg nfolds+1 times; the first to compute the lambda sequence, and then to compute the fit with each of the folds omitted. The error or the log-likelihood value is accumulated, and the average value and standard deviation over the folds is computed. Note that cv.irglmreg can be used to search for values for alpha: it is required to call cv.irglmreg with a fixed vector foldid for different values of alpha.
