Multivariate Elastic Net Regression

The R package joinet implements multivariate ridge and lasso regression using stacked generalisation. This multivariate regression typically outperforms univariate regression at predicting correlated outcomes. It provides predictive and interpretable models in high-dimensional settings. package

Details

Use function joinet for model fitting. Type library(joinet) and then ?joinet or help("joinet)" to open its help file.

See the vignette for further examples. Type vignette("joinet") or browseVignettes("joinet")

Examples

## Not run:

#--- data simulation ---
n <- 50; p <- 100; q <- 3
X <- matrix(rnorm(n*p),nrow=n,ncol=p)
Y <- replicate(n=q,expr=rnorm(n=n,mean=rowSums(X[,1:5])))
# n samples, p inputs, q outputs

#--- model fitting ---
object <- joinet(Y=Y,X=X)
# slot "base": univariate
# slot "meta": multivariate

#--- make predictions ---
y_hat <- predict(object,newx=X)
# n x q matrix "base": univariate
# n x q matrix "meta": multivariate 

#--- extract coefficients ---
coef <- coef(object)
# effects of inputs on outputs
# q vector "alpha": intercepts
# p x q matrix "beta": slopes

#--- model comparison ---
loss <- cv.joinet(Y=Y,X=X)
# cross-validated loss
# row "base": univariate
# row "meta": multivariate
