glassoFast: a Fast Graphical LASSO
This package propose a fast implementation of the graphical LASSO of Friedman et al. 2008 based on the algorithm (and FORTRAN subroutine) of Sustik and Calderhead (2012). This algorithm also avoid non-termination issues observed for the "glasso" function of the R package glasso.
glassoFast 1.0.0
- This is the version 1.0.0:
You can install it directly from gitHub through devtools:
library(devtools)
install_github("JClavel/glassoFast")
(Note that you may also need to install Rtools to compile the C and FORTRAN codes included in the package. For [Windows] (https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/Rtools/) and for [Mac] (http://r.research.att.com) (and [Tools] (https://r.research.att.com/tools/). See also "gcc" and "gfortran" websites)
