testGlmnet {BAGofT}

Testing penalized logistic regressions

Description

testGlmnet specifies a penalized logistic regression as the classifier to test. It returns a function that can be taken as the input of ‘testModel’. R package ‘glmnet’ is required.

Usage

testGlmnet(formula, alpha = 1)

Arguments

formula

an object of class "formula" (or one that can be coerced to that class): a symbolic description of the model to test.

alpha

the elasticnet mixing parameter, with 0\le\alpha\le 1. The penalty is defined as

(1-\alpha)/2||\beta||_2^2+\alpha||\beta||_1.

alpha=1 is the lasso penalty, and alpha=0 the ridge penalty.
