Plots the cross-validation curve from a cv.ncvreg object

Source: R/plot-cv-ncvreg.R
plot.cv.ncvreg.Rd

Plots the cross-validation curve from a cv.ncvreg or cv.ncvsurv object, along with standard error bars.

Usage

# S3 method for class 'cv.ncvreg'
plot(
  x,
  log.l = TRUE,
  type = c("cve", "rsq", "scale", "snr", "pred", "all"),
  selected = TRUE,
  vertical.line = TRUE,
  col = "red",
  ...
)

Arguments

x

A cv.ncvreg or cv.ncvsurv object.

log.l

Should horizontal axis be on the log scale? Default is TRUE.

type

What to plot on the vertical axis:

  • cve plots the cross-validation error (deviance)

  • rsq plots an estimate of the fraction of the deviance explained by the model (R-squared)

  • snr plots an estimate of the signal-to-noise ratio

  • scale plots, for family="gaussian", an estimate of the scale parameter (standard deviation)

  • pred plots, for family="binomial", the estimated prediction error

  • all produces all of the above

selected

If TRUE (the default), places an axis on top of the plot denoting the number of variables in the model (i.e., that have a nonzero regression coefficient) at that value of lambda.

vertical.line

If TRUE (the default), draws a vertical line at the value where cross-validaton error is minimized.

col

Controls the color of the dots (CV estimates).

...

Other graphical parameters to plot()

Details

Error bars representing approximate 68% confidence intervals are plotted along with the estimates across values of lambda. For rsq and snr applied to models other than linear regression, the Cox-Snell R-squared is used.
