[R] Lasso Regression error

2013-05-04 Thread Preetam Pal
Hi all, I have a data set containing variables LOSS, GDP, HPI and UE. (I have attached it in case it is required). Having renamed the variables as l,g,h and u, I wish to run a Lasso Regression with l as the dependent variable and all the other 3 as the independent variables.

Hi, I rectified my error (thanks David for pointing it out) Now I have been able to run the code: data=read.table(data.txt, header=T) l=data$LOSS h=data$HPI u=data$UE g=data$GDP matrix=cbind(g,h,u) lasso=lars(matrix,l) The final set of coefficients for the regression is the last row of

Thanks David for the paper, I understand the theory. But my question is about R only: the vector of coefficients that R outputs in lars(), does it apply against the original variable y or against (y-y_bar). I have put in intercept=T as well in my lars() model. I need this information to calculate
