Linda, Thanks for the example.
I did this to make it more reproducible: set.seed(1) X<-matrix(rnorm(50*100),nrow=50) y<-rnorm(50*1) dimnames(X) colnames(X) <- paste("V", 1:nrow(X)) # Applying caret package set.seed(2) con<-trainControl(method="cv",number=10) data<-NULL data<- train(X,y, "lasso", metric="RMSE",tuneLength = 10, trControl = con) I see your point here, but this code gives the same results: fit2 <- enet(X, y, lambda = 0) predict(fit2, mode = "fraction", s = data$bestTune$.fraction, type = "coefficient")$coef (at least train() names the predictors). To me, it looks like enet is doing some filtering: > dim(X) [1] 50 100 > length(fit2$meanx) [1] 56 This appears to be independent of caret. I would contact the package maintainer off-list and ask.
