LASSO Regression

LASSO regression, a method for fitting linear models by minimizing a penalized sum of squared errors, aims to select relevant variables and produce accurate predictions, particularly in high-dimensional settings. Current research focuses on improving LASSO's efficiency and applicability, including developing faster algorithms like block-coordinate descent and exploring its connections to deep neural networks, particularly in representing neural network training as equivalent LASSO problems. These advancements enhance LASSO's utility in diverse fields, from causal inference and time series analysis to recommender systems and online learning, by providing more efficient and robust solutions for high-dimensional data analysis.
