MATLAB crashing during uf_glmfit when glmnet method is used

[anikokusztor]

MATLAB version: R2017b

I have encounter a fatal error when running uf_glmfit with glmnet method.
E.g.
EEG= uf_glmfit(EEG,'method','glmnet');

The error message referred to Access Violation, and the error was detected when a MEX file was running:
Stack Trace (from fault):
[1] **\MATLAB\unfold-master\lib\glmnet_matlab\glmnetMex.mexw64+00006620 MEXFUNCTION+00002524

@behinger correctly suggested that the problem may originate from a compiler error and provided the following link (https://web.stanford.edu/~hastie/glmnet_matlab/win64compile.html) to recompile the glmnet toolbox.

I have found an alternative solution by downloading a MATLAB add-on named MATLAB Support for MinGW-w64 C/C++ Compiler.
https://se.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/52848-matlab-support-for-mingw-w64-c-c-compiler

After installing the add-on, the error no longer occurred and the model fitting worked well.

Encountered the same issue as Aniko. Her solution via the MATLAB add-in worked fine for me.

[behinger]

can you upload/replace the resulting mex-file?

[olafdimigen]

Have to correct myself: Aniko's solution did not work for me (oversaw crash message caused by the MEX file).
Can't get glmnet to run on Matlab 2020a, Win10 yet, can't recompile with the Matlab MinGW compiler ("No supported compiler found")

[behinger]

I was wondering myself, because afaik glmnet is in Fortran not c/c++

[olafdimigen]

I have re-compiled glmnet for Windows 64bit with the Intel Fortran compiler on Win10, Matlab 2020a, commit 75d540f to development branch. The resulting MEX file produced reasonable-looking glmnet results with real data. We should test whether this still works with Win-7 and/or run test on simulated data.
