## Auxiliary function to generate suitable lambda parameters

### Description

Auxiliary function to generate suitable lambda parameters

### Usage

    buildLambda(
      lambda.largest = NULL,
      xdata = NULL,
      ydata = NULL,
      family = NULL,
      orders.of.magnitude.smaller = 3,
      lambda.per.order.magnitude = 150
    )

### Arguments

`lambda.largest` | numeric value for largest number of lambda to consider (usually with a target of 1 selected variable)
`xdata` | X parameter for glmnet function
`ydata` | Y parameter for glmnet function
`family` | family parameter to glmnet function
`orders.of.magnitude.smaller` | minimum value for lambda (lambda.largest / 10^orders.of.magnitude.smaller)
`lambda.per.order.magnitude` | how many lambdas to create for each order of magnitude

### Value

a numeric vector with suitable lambdas

### Examples

    buildLambda(5.4)
