Computational Framework for L\(_{2}\)E Structured Regression Problems

The L2E package (version 2.0) implements the computational framework for L\(_2\)E regression in Liu, Chi, and Lange (2022+), which was built on the previous work in Chi and Chi (2022). Both works employ the block coordinate descent strategy to solve a nonconvex optimization problem but utilize different methods for the inner block descent updates. We refer to the method in Liu, Chi, and Lange (2022+) as “MM” and the one in Chi and Chi (2022) as “PG” in our package. This package provides code to replicate some examples illustrating the usage of the frameworks in both manuscripts.

Installation

To install the latest stable version from CRAN:

install.packages('L2E')

To install the latest development version from GitHub:

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github('jocelynchi/L2E-package-demo')

Getting Started

We’ve included an introductory demo on how to use the L2E framework with examples from the accompanying journal manuscripts.
