//! # Lasso //! //! [Linear regression](../linear_regression/index.html) is the standard algorithm for predicting a quantitative response \\(y\\) on the basis of a linear combination of explanatory variables \\(X\\) //! that assumes that there is approximately a linear relationship between \\(X\\) and \\(y\\). //! Lasso is an extension to linear regression that adds L1 regularization term to the loss function during training. //! //! Similar to [ridge regression](../ridge_regression/index.html), the lasso shrinks the coefficient estimates towards zero when. However, in the case of the lasso, the l1 penalty has the effect of //! forcing some of the coefficient estimates to be exactly equal to zero when the tuning parameter \\(\alpha\\) is sufficiently large. //! //! Lasso coefficient estimates solve the problem: //! //! \\[\underset{\beta}{minimize} \space \space \sum_{i=1}^n \left( y_i - \beta_0 - \sum_{j=1}^p \beta_jx_{ij} \right)^2 + \alpha \sum_{j=1}^p \lVert \beta_j \rVert_1\\] //! //! This problem is solved with an interior-point method that is comparable to coordinate descent in solving large problems with modest accuracy, //! but is able to solve them with high accuracy with relatively small additional computational cost. //! //! ## References: //! //! * ["An Introduction to Statistical Learning", James G., Witten D., Hastie T., Tibshirani R., 6.2.
