Hi, I am trying to do a lasso regression using the lars package with the following data (see attached):
FastestTime WinPercentage PlacePercentage ShowPercentage BreakAverage FinishAverage Time7Average Time3Average Finish 116.90 0.14 0.14 0.29 4.43 3.29 117.56 117.77 5.00 116.23 0.29 0.43 0.14 6.14 2.14 116.84 116.80 2.00 116.41 0.00 0.14 0.29 5.71 3.71 117.24 117.17 4.00 115.80 0.57 0.00 0.29 2.14 2.57 116.21 116.53 6.00 117.76 0.14 0.14 0.43 5.43 3.57 118.57 118.87 3.00 117.69 0.14 0.14 0.00 4.71 4.00 118.69 118.60 6.00 116.46 0.14 0.00 0.00 5.14 5.00 118.50 118.97 5.00 119.77 0.00 0.00 0.14 4.57 4.14 120.74 121.03 4.00 116.81 0.14 0.29 0.00 4.86 3.57 117.63 117.40 5.00 117.66 0.14 0.14 0.14 4.57 4.71 119.19 120.57 7.00 #load Data crs<- read.csv("file:///C:/temp/Horse//horseracing.csv<file:///C:\temp\Horse\horseracing.csv>", na.strings=c(",", "NA", "", "?"), encoding="UTF-8") # # define x and y x= x<-crs[,9] #predictor variables y= y<-crs[1:8,] #response variable library(lars) cv.lars(x, y, K=10, trace=TRUE, plot.it = TRUE,se = TRUE, type="lasso") and I get: LASSO sequence Error in one %*% x : requires numeric/complex matrix/vector arguments Any idea on what I am doing wrong?
