Lasso.jl is a pure Julia implementation of the glmnet coordinate descent algorithm for fitting linear and generalized linear Lasso and Elastic Net models, as described in:
Friedman, J., Hastie, T., & Tibshirani, R. (2010). Regularization paths for generalized linear models via coordinate descent. Journal of Statistical Software, 33(1), 1. http:https://www.jstatsoft.org/v33/i01/
Lasso.jl also includes an implementation of the O(n) fused Lasso implementation described in:
Johnson, N. A. (2013). A dynamic programming algorithm for the fused lasso and L0-segmentation. Journal of Computational and Graphical Statistics, 22(2), 246–260. doi:10.1080/10618600.2012.681238
As well as an implementation of polynomial trend filtering based on:
Ramdas, A., & Tibshirani, R. J. (2014). Fast and flexible ADMM algorithms for trend filtering. arXiv Preprint arXiv:1406.2082. Retrieved from http:https://arxiv.org/abs/1406.2082
Also implements the Gamma Lasso, a concave regularization path glmnet variant: Taddy, M. (2017) One-Step Estimator Paths for Concave Regularization Journal of Computational and Graphical Statistics, 26:3, 525-536 http:https://dx.doi.org/10.1080/10618600.2016.1211532
To fit a Lasso path with default parameters:
fit(LassoPath, X, y, dist, link)
dist
is any distribution supported by GLM.jl and link
defaults to
the canonical link for that distribution.
To fit a fused Lasso model:
fit(FusedLasso, y, λ)
To fit a polynomial trend filtering model:
fit(TrendFilter, y, order, λ)
To fit a Gamma Lasso path:
fit(GammaLassoPath, X, y, dist, link; γ=1.0)
It supports the same parameters as fit(LassoPath...), plus γ which controls the concavity of the regularization path. γ=0.0 is the Lasso. Higher values tend to result in sparser coefficient estimates.
