splitsNetwork: Phylogenetic Network

Description

splitsNetwork estimates weights for a splits graph from a distance matrix.

Usage

splitsNetwork(dm, splits = NULL, gamma = 0.1, lambda = 1e-06,
  weight = NULL)

Value

splitsNetwork returns a splits object with a matrix added. The first column contains the indices of the splits, the second column an unconstrained fit without penalty terms and the third column the constrained fit.

Arguments

dm

A distance matrix.

splits

a splits object, containing all splits to consider, otherwise all possible splits are used

gamma

penalty value for the L1 constraint.

lambda

penalty value for the L2 constraint.

weight

a vector of weights.

Details

splitsNetwork fits non-negative least-squares phylogenetic networks using L1 (LASSO), L2(ridge regression) constraints. The function minimizes the penalized least squares $$\beta = min \sum(dm - X\beta)^2 + \lambda \|\beta \|^2_2 $$ with respect to $$\|\beta \|_1 <= \gamma, \beta >= 0$$ where \(X\) is a design matrix constructed with designSplits. External edges are fitted without L1 or L2 constraints.
