offsetx: optional numeric vector with an a priori known component to be included in the linear predictor of the count model.
offsetz: optional numeric vector with an a priori known component to be included in the linear predictor of the zero model.
nlambda: number of lambda value, default value is 10.
lambda.count: Optional user-supplied lambda.count sequence; default is NULL
lambda.zero: Optional user-supplied lambda.zero sequence; default is NULL
nfolds: number of folds >=3, default is 10
foldid: an optional vector of values between 1 and nfold
identifying what fold each observation is in. If supplied, nfold can be missing and will be ignored.
plot.it: a logical value, to plot the estimated log-likelihood values if TRUE.
se: a logical value, to plot with standard errors.
n.cores: The number of CPU cores to use. The cross-validation loop will attempt to send different CV folds off to different cores.
trace: a logical value, print progress of cross-validation or not
parallel: a logical value, parallel computing or not
...: Other arguments that can be passed to zipath.
Details
The function runs zipathnfolds+1 times; the first to compute the (lambda.count, lambda.zero) sequence, and then to compute the fit with each of the folds omitted. The log-likelihood value is accumulated, and the average value and standard deviation over the folds is computed. Note that cv.zipath can be used to search for values for count.alpha or zero.alpha: it is required to call cv.zipath with a fixed vector foldid for different values of count.alpha or zero.alpha.
The method for coef by default return a single vector of coefficients, i.e., all coefficients are concatenated. By setting the model
argument, the estimates for the corresponding model components can be extracted.
Returns
an object of class "cv.zipath" is returned, which is a list with the components of the cross-validation fit. - fit: a fitted zipath object for the full data.
residmat: matrix for cross-validated log-likelihood at each (count.lambda, zero.lambda) sequence
bic: matrix of BIC values with row values for lambda and column values for kth cross-validation
cv: The mean cross-validated log-likelihood - a vector of length length(count.lambda).
cv.error: estimate of standard error of cv.
foldid: an optional vector of values between 1 and nfold
identifying what fold each observation is in.
lambda.which: index of (count.lambda, zero.lambda) that gives maximum cv.
lambda.optim: value of (count.lambda, zero.lambda) that gives maximum cv.
