Lasso and Elastic NetΒΆ
Lasso and elastic net (L1 and L2 penalisation) implemented using a coordinate descent.
The coefficients can be forced to be positive.
Script output:
Computing regularization path using the lasso...
Computing regularization path using the positive lasso...
Computing regularization path using the elastic net...
Computing regularization path using the positve elastic net...
