All, For my understanding, I wanted to see if I can get glmnet predictions using both the predict function and also by multiplying coefficients by the variable matrix. This is not worked out. Could anyone suggest where I am going wrong? I understand that I may not have the mean/intercept correct, but the scaling is also off, which suggests a bigger mistake.
Thanks for your help.
