Overview

About

Maintained by Stephan Ritter1 releasesCRAN page ↗

Extends the glmnet and relaxnet packages with polynomial basis expansions. Basis expansion is applied to the predictors and a subset of the basis functions is chosen using relaxnet. Predictors may be screened using correlation or t-tests. Screening is done separately within cross-validation folds. Cross-validation may be used to select the order of basis expansion and alpha, the elastic net tuning parameter.

Install

R (source archive)

url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/widenet/widenet_0.1-2.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "widenet_0.1-2.tar.gz"
download.file(url, pkgFile)
install.packages(pkgFile, type = "source", repos = NULL)

This package is no longer on CRAN, so install.packages() cannot fetch it by name. This downloads the last archived source (0.1-2) and builds it locally. Install its dependencies first, and note that building from source needs the usual compiler toolchain.
