### Comparing Ridge and Lasso Regression [duplicate]

I was thinking about main differences between ridge and lasso introducing a $\ell^2$ and $\ell^1$ penalty term respectively. The main thing is that with ridge I will keep all my features in the end ...

### LASSO method. Intuitively how does it select variables? [duplicate]

Intuitively how does the LASSO method select its variables? Is it based on standard econometrics?

### Implementing Lasso Regression in Numpy

I'm doing a little self study project, and am trying to implement OLS, Ridge, and Lasso regression from scratch using just Numpy, and am having problems getting this to work with Lasso regression. ...

### L1 and L2 penalty vs L1 and L2 norms

I understand the usages of L1 and L2 norms however I am unsure of usage of L1 and L2 penalty when building models. From what I understand: L1: Laplace Prior L2: Gaussian Prior are two of the ...

### Why L1 regularization can “zero out the weights” and therefore leads to sparse models? [duplicate]

I'm aware there is a very relevant explanation on L1 regularization's effect on feature selection at here: Why L1 norm for sparse models [Ref. 1]. To better understand it I'm reading Google's ...

### Does the order of models (and so variables) matter in nested models?

I am trying to use nested models to investigate the influence of 5 factors on my dependent variable. I am not interested in interactions, only the influence of each variable taken separately. My ...

### Is there any special case where ridge regression can shrink coefficients to zero?

Are there some special cases, where the Ridge Regression can also lead to coefficients that are zero ? It is widely known, that lasso is shrinking coefficients towards or on zero, while the ridge ...

### Can lasso and ridge regressions theoretically have exact same solution?

Intuitively lasso leads more sparsity, but is that theoretically possible they have exact same solution vector?

### Binary outcome prediction with binary data

I am new to R programming and although I searched through the community, I couldn't find a similar topic, although it has to be somewhere. So a link to a similar case would be sufficient. I have a ...

### What is the mathematical rigorous proof that L1 regularization will give sparse solution? [duplicate]

It is given in the book Machine Learning A probabilistic Perspective, but i am not able to understand it. Can some one provide an explanation for that ? I am not clear with the way sub gradient is ...
