Nice to meet you Brian. The question is about the numbers that appears
after lambda (0,0, 0.1, 0.0001). I know that seq is a set of values used
for testing which value fits best. But I'm not sure if I need to put
whatever I think or what. I tried also with a set of 5 values and I get
an error. Is there a maximum allowed?

So you mean the set of values of lambda? It is just a set to be use for a plot and for searching in the select() methods.

There is an R function called sequence(), and it is not the same as seq().


plot(lm.ridge(hipcenter ~ .,seatpos, lambda = seq(0,0.1,0.001)))
select(lm.ridge(hipcenter ~ ., seatpos,lambda = seq(0,0.1,0.001)))

            Dear R users. I have a doubt about the use of the
            sequence option on
            Ridge regression. I'm trying to understand the
            use of this option when
            variables are highly linear correlated. I'm
            running a model where the
            variables HtShoes and Ht have high VIF values. My
            program is written
            below, but I'm not sure about the correct way of
            using the sequence
            option:

            library (faraway)
            data (seatpos)
            attach (seatpos)
            spos.mod <- lm(hipcenter ~ .,seatpos) summary
            (spos.mod)
            library(MASS)
            lm.ridge(hipcenter ~ .,seatpos)
            plot(lm.ridge(hipcenter ~ .,seatpos, lambda =
            seq(0,0.1,0.001)))
            select(lm.ridge(hipcenter ~ ., seatpos,lambda =
            seq(0,0.1,0.001)))

            Any advice will be appreaciated. Rodrigo B.
