Stacked Elastic Net Regression

The R package starnet implements stacked elastic net regression. The elastic net generalises ridge and lasso regularisation. Instead of fixing or tuning the mixing parameter alpha, we combine multiple alphas by stacked generalisation.

Details

Use function starnet for model fitting. Type library(starnet) and then ?starnet or help("starnet)" to open its help file.

See the vignette for further examples. Type vignette("starnet") or browseVignettes("starnet") to open the vignette.
