Interface for fitting penalized regression models for binary of survival endpoint using glmnet, conforming to the requirements for argument fit.fun in peperr call.

fit.glmnet(response, x, cplx, ...)

Arguments

response

a survival object (with Surv(time, status), or a binary vector with entries 0 and 1).

x

n*p matrix of covariates.

cplx

lambda penalty value.

...

additional arguments passed to glmnet call such as family.

Value

glmnet object

Details

Function is basically a wrapper for glmnet of package glmnet. Note that only penalized Cox PH (family="cox") and logistic regression models (family="binomial") are sensible for prediction error evaluation with package peperr.
