  • $\begingroup$ I would call this an answer, but this is really an R questions and not a stat question. glmnet automatically standardizes the data for you. Check the documentation. Of course, with things like this, 'it's trust, but verify', so doing it yourself is always a good idea. In fact the documentation claims that for logistic regressions, you probably don't want to do this. $\endgroup$ Commented Jun 20, 2018 at 16:01

  • $\begingroup$ But off the bat I would point out that the lambda's used are very different for the two fits- reflecting the scaling of the variable. $\endgroup$ Commented Jun 20, 2018 at 16:21
