N first rows: The N first observations are selected for the validation. The 'Number of observations' N must then be specified. N last rows: The N last observations are selected for the validation. Random: The observations are randomly selected. Validation set: Choose one of the following options to define how to obtain the observations used for the validation: Validation: Activate this option if you want to use a sub-sample of the data to validate the model. Interactions / Level: Activate this option to include interactions in the model then enter the maximum interaction level (value between 1 and 5). Past that time, if convergence has not been reached, the algorithm stops and returns the results obtained during the last iteration. Maximum time (in seconds): Enter the maximum time allowed for a coordinate descent. Default value: 100.Ĭonvergence: Enter the maximum value of the evolution of the log of the likelihood from one iteration to another which, when reached, means that the algorithm is considered to have converged. Number of values tested: Enter the number of λ values that will be tested during the cross validation.

Number of folds: Enter the number of folds to be constituted for the cross validation.

Otherwise, enter the value you want to assign to the parameter λ. Lambda: Activate this option if you want to calculate the parameter λ by cross validation.

Enter manually: Activate this option if you want to specify the accrual parameter λ.

A single subsample is retained as the validation data to test the model, and the remaining k-1 subsamples are used as training data. Data is partitioned into k subsamples of equal size. This option allows you to run a k-folds cross-validation to obtain the optimal λ regularization parameter and to quantify the quality of the classification or regression depending on it.

Cross-validation: Activate this option if you want to calculate the λ parameter by cross-validation.

Model parameters: this option allows you to choose the method used to define the regularization parameter λ. If the variable header has been selected, make sure the 'Variable labels' option has been activated. The selected data may be of any type, but numerical data will automatically be considered as nominal. Then select the corresponding variables in the Excel worksheet. Qualitative: Activate this option if you want to include one or more qualitative explanatory variables in the model.

The data selected may be of the numerical type. Quantitative: Activate this option if you want to include one or more quantitative explanatory variables in the model. Quantitative: If your response type contains real values, choose this type to fit a regression model.Response type: Select the type of response you have: If a column header has been selected, check that the 'Variable labels' option has been activated. If several variables have been selected, XLSTAT carries out calculations for each of the variables separately. Quantitative: Select the response variable(s) you want to model. Setting up of a Ridge regression in XLSTAT Ridge regression differs from LASSO regression in that it shows greater robustness when datasets with high multicollinearity are involved. Ridge regression is one of the methods that overcome the shortcomings (instability of the estimate and unreliability of the prediction) of linear regression in a high-dimensional context.

The high-dimensional context covers all situations where we have a very large number of variables compared to the number of individuals. It is an estimation method that constrains its coefficients not to explode, unlike standard linear regression in the field of high-dimensional statistics. Ridge regression, a method derived from Tikhonov regularization, was proposed by Hoerl and Kennard in 1970.
