Dear all,

 I'm having trouble calling the cv.lars
function<http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/lars/lars.pdf>in
Python from the 'lars' package. I suppose the problem is that the
function has to be called with an extra point, which is not described in
the examples on the page. My attempt was to do (the part in bold is the
important one):

import rpy2.robjects as robj
from pylab import *
X=ones([10,2])                      # We create a matrix with 2 columns, 10
rows (10 observations, 2 predictors)
X[:,1]=arange(10)                  # The second column is 0,1,2,...9 (we're
trying to form the y=ax+b model)
y=arange(10)+normal(0.0,1.0,10)              # The observations!
lars=robj.packages.importr("lars")              # We import the lars package
sts=robj.packages.importr("stats")             # We import the stats
package.
# We convert the python array to a R matrix.
nr,nc=X.shape
Xvec=robj.FloatVector(X.transpose().reshape(X.size))
Xr=robj.r.matrix(Xvec,nrow=nr,ncol=nc)     # -> This is an R matrix!
yr=robj.FloatVector(y)                             # -> This is "y" as an R
vector
*larscv=lars.cv.lars(Xr,yr)                      # This doesn't work!*

When I execute this Python code, I get:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: 'SignatureTranslatedPackage' object has no attribute 'cv'

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance!
