[R] Different Lambdas and Coefficients between cv.glmnet and intercept = FALSE

2021-02-23 Thread kevinegan31
Hello, I'm currently reviewing how to correctly implement `glmnet` and am having a hard time understanding why the results seem to be different between each method when `intercept = TRUE/FALSE` as I thought it should just drop the intercept from the model. However, it seems to be acting a bit d

You can't. But in order to be able to predict for states that _were_ in the training data, the coefficient cannot be NA. On February 23, 2021 8:40:43 AM PST, b...@denney.ws wrote: >How should you be able to make a prediction (using this type of model) >from a state where there is no data such as

Model equations do not normally have conditional forms dependent on whether specific coefficients are NA or not. If you assign NA to a coefficient then you will not be able to predict outputs for input cases that you should be able to. Zero allows these expected cases to work... NA would prevent

[R] print and coef Methods for survreg Differ

2021-02-23 Thread bill
Hello, I'm working on a survreg model where the full data are subset for modeling individual parts of the data separately. When subsetting, the fit variable ("treatment" in the example below) has levels that are not in the data. A work-around for this is to drop the levels, but it seems inacc
