estimateAlpha()

template<typename MatrixType >

SlopePath slope::estimateAlpha	(	MatrixType &	x,
		Eigen::MatrixXd &	y,
		const Slope &	model
	)

Estimates the regularization parameter alpha for SLOPE regression.

This function implements an algorithm to estimate an appropriate regularization parameter (alpha) for SLOPE, which is a generalization of the lasso. When n >= p + 30, it directly estimates alpha from OLS residuals. Otherwise, it uses an iterative procedure that alternates between estimating alpha and fitting the SLOPE model.

The iterative procedure works by:

1. Starting with an empty set of selected variables
2. Estimating alpha based on the selected variables
3. Fitting a SLOPE model with that alpha
4. Updating the selected variables based on non-zero coefficients
5. Repeating until convergence or maximum iterations reached

Template Parameters

MatrixType

The type of matrix used to store the design matrix

Parameters

x	Design matrix with n observations and p predictors
y	Response matrix
model	The SLOPE model object containing method parameters

Returns

A SlopePath object containing the fitted model with estimated alpha

Exceptions

std::runtime_error

If maximum iterations reached or if too many variables selected

double slope::estimateNoise	(	MatrixType &	x,
		Eigen::MatrixXd &	y,
		const bool	fit_intercept
	)

Estimates noise (standard error) in a linear model using OLS residuals.

Calculates the standard error of the residuals from an Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression. This is computed as sqrt(sum(residuals²) / (n - p + intercept_term)), where n is the number of observations and p is the number of predictors.

Template Parameters

MatrixType

The type of matrix used to store the design matrix

Parameters

x	Design matrix with n observations and p predictors
y	Response matrix
fit_intercept	Whether to include an intercept term in the model

Returns

The estimated noise level (standard error of residuals)

validateOption()

void slope::validateOption	(	const std::string &	value,
		const std::set< std::string > &	valid_options,
		const std::string &	parameter_name
	)

Validates if a given value exists in a set of valid options.

Throws an informative error if the value is not found in the valid options, listing all valid possibilities in the error message.

Parameters

value	The value to validate
valid_options	Set of valid options
parameter_name	Name of the parameter being validated (used in error message).

Exceptions

std::invalid_argument

If value is not in valid_options

warningCodeToString()

std::string slope::warningCodeToString

(

WarningCode

code

)

Convert a warning code to its string representation.

Parameters

code	The warning code to convert

Returns

std::string String representation of the warning code

which()

template<typename T >

std::vector< int > slope::which

(

const T &

x

)

Returns indices of true values in a boolean container.

Template Parameters

T	Container type supporting size() and operator[] (e.g., std::vector<bool>, std::array<bool>)

Parameters

x	Input container with boolean-convertible values

Returns

std::vector<int> containing indices where x[i] evaluates to true

Example: std::vector<bool> v = {true, false, true, false, true}; auto indices = which(v); // returns {0, 2, 4}

whichBest()

template<typename T , typename Comparator >

int slope::whichBest	(	const T &	x,
		const Comparator &	comp
	)

Returns the index of the minimum element in a container.

Template Parameters

T	Container type that supports iterators and std::min_element

Parameters

x	Container whose maximum element's index is to be found
comp	Comparator that returns true if the first argument is worse than the second argument

Returns

int Zero-based index position of the maximum element

Uses std::max_element to find the iterator to the maximum element, then converts to index position using std::distance. For containers with multiple maximum elements, returns the first occurrence.

Definition at line 403 of file math.h.

whichMax()

template<typename T >

int slope::whichMax

(

const T &

x

)

Returns the index of the maximum element in a container.

Template Parameters

T	Container type that supports iterators and std::max_element

Parameters

x	Container whose maximum element's index is to be found

Returns

int Zero-based index position of the maximum element

Uses std::max_element to find the iterator to the maximum element, then converts to index position using std::distance. For containers with multiple maximum elements, returns the first occurrence.

Definition at line 365 of file math.h.

whichMin()

template<typename T >

int slope::whichMin

(

const T &

x

)

Returns the index of the minimum element in a container.

Template Parameters

T	Container type that supports iterators and std::min_element

Parameters

x	Container whose maximum element's index is to be found

Returns

int Zero-based index position of the maximum element

Uses std::max_element to find the iterator to the maximum element, then converts to index position using std::distance. For containers with multiple maximum elements, returns the first occurrence.
