<p>Recently, I wrote a small package to provide a formula interface (and some other bits) to the <code>glmnet</code> R package. This came about after I <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/29093868/formula-interface-for-glmnet">posted on StackOverflow</a> asking whether there was an existing package that provided the functionality I was looking for. Nobody answered, so I assumed the answer was negative. After writing the package, I then answered my own question and provided a <a href="https://github.com/Hong-Revo/glmnetUtils" rel="nofollow noreferrer">download link</a>.</p>

<p>It's now occurred to me that this might also be on-topic on CV; and there might be an audience of people working with <code>glmnet</code> who'd find it useful but missed the post on SO. Would it be acceptable to (essentially) repost the question and answer here?</p>
