Hi, The "penalized" documentation says that "Unordered factors are turned into as many dummy variables as the factor has levels". This is done by a function in the package called contr.none. I'm trying to figure out how exactly is a model matrix created with this contrast option when the user calls the function with a formula. I typed "library(penalized) ; penalized" but couldn't point the part of the code where this is done.
I'll appreciate any help on this. Lars. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
