Cyclops

Build Status codecov.io CRAN_Status_Badge CRAN_Status_Badge

Cyclops is part of the HADES.

Introduction

Cyclops (Cyclic coordinate descent for logistic, Poisson and survival analysis) is an R package for performing large scale regularized regressions.

Features

  • Regression of very large problems: up to millions of observations, millions of variables
  • Supports (conditional) logistic regression, (conditional) Poisson regression, as well as (conditional) Cox regression
  • Uses a sparse representation of the independent variables when appropriate
  • Supports using no prior, a normal prior or a Laplace prior
  • Supports automatic selection of hyperparameter through cross-validation
  • Efficient estimation of confidence intervals for a single variable using a profile-likelihood for that variable

Examples

  library(Cyclops)
  cyclopsData <- createCyclopsDataFrame(formula)
  cyclopsFit <- fitCyclopsModel(cyclopsData)

Technology

Cyclops in an R package, with most functionality implemented in C++. Cyclops uses cyclic coordinate descent to optimize the likelihood function, which makes use of the sparse nature of the data.

System Requirements

Requires R (version 3.1.0 or higher). Compilation on Windows requires RTools >= 3.4.

Installation

In R, to install the latest stable version, install from CRAN:

install.packages("Cyclops")

To install the latest development version, install from GitHub. Note that this will require RTools to be installed.

install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("OHDSI/Cyclops")
