Description

This articles details how Statistica Lasso module determines the optimal Lambda 

 

Resolution

Statistica performs v-fold cross-validation to identify the optimal lambda value using minimum average error. The initial run is on the entire data to get the lambda sequence. The cross-validation procedure then splits the input data into v folds and runs the algorithm with each fold omitted. The average errors are calculated over each fold and their standard deviations computed.
