make_sparse_model: Generate sparse linear model and random samples

Description

Generate design matrix and response following linear models \(y = X \beta + \epsilon\), where \(\epsilon ~ N(0, \sigma^2)\), and \(X ~ N(0, \Sigma)\).

Usage

make_sparse_model(n, p, alpha, rho, snr, nsim)

Arguments

n

the sample size

p

the number of features

alpha

sparsity, i.e., \(n^\alpha\) nonzeros in the true regression coefficient.

rho

pairwise correlation among features

snr

signal to noise ratio, defined as \(\beta^T \Sigma \beta / \sigma^2\)

nsim

the number of simulations

Value

A list object containing:

x:

The n by p design matrix

y:

The n by nsim matrix of response vector, each column representing one replication of the simulation

beta:

The true regression coefficient vector

sigma:

The true error standard deviation
