Multivariate linear ridge regression estimator

Description

Computes the parameter estimates in a linear least squares ridge regression.

Usage

linear(x, y, eleg=TRUE, lambda=0)

Arguments

x

n*d data matrix; the matrix of the values of the explanatory variables

y

n vector; the values of the response variable

eleg

TRUE or FALSE; an internal parameter related to the method of calculation

lambda

nonnegative real number; the degree of penalization in ridge regression; if lambda=0, then the usual linear least squares estimates are calculated

Value

list of beta0 and beta1; beta0 is a real number and beta1 is a d vector; beta0 is the estimate of the intercept and beta1 is the vector containing the estimates of the coefficients
