Empirical Bayesian Elastic Net (EBEN) for Generalized Linear Models

CRAN_Status_Badge

We provide extremely efficient procedures for fitting the empirical Bayesian methods with lasso and elastic net hierarchical priors for linear regression (gaussian), and logistic regression (binomial) models. EBEN is a sister package to EBglmnet (available in CRAN). Both packages share key features include:

The implementation enables extremely efficient computation comparable with that of glmnet package.

When you need EBEN

While EBglmnet offers generic functions for a broad range of use cases, EBEN takes care of the following special cases:

Version notes

Version 5.1 is a major release with several new features, including:
