Regularization paths for SCAD- and MCP-penalized regression models


Description

Efficient algorithms for fitting regularization paths for a variety of regression models (linear, logistic, Poisson, survival) penalized by MCP or SCAD, with optional additional L2 penalty.

Details

Accepts a design matrix X and vector of responses y, produces the regularization path over a grid of values for the tuning parameter lambda. Also provides methods for plotting, cross-validation-based inference, and for determining locally convex regions of the coefficients paths.

See the "Getting started" vignette for a brief overview of how the package works.
