### How does glmnet handle overdispersion?

I have a question about how to model text over count data, in particular how could I use the lasso technique to reduce features. Say I have N online articles and ...

### LASSO Regression - p-values and coefficients

I've run a LASSO in R using cv.glmnet. I would like to generate p-values for the coefficients that are selected. I found the boot.lass.proj to produce bootstrapped ...

### Does LASSO suffer from the same problems stepwise regression does?

Stepwise algorithmic variable-selection methods tend to select for models which bias more or less every estimate in regression models ($\beta$s and their SEs, p-values, F statistics, etc.), and are ...

### How to interpret variables that are excluded from or included in the lasso model?

I got from other posts that one cannot attribute 'importance' or 'significance' to predictor variables that enter a lasso model because calculating those variables' p-values or standard deviations is ...

### confidence intervals' coverage with regularized estimates

Suppose I'm trying to estimate a large number of parameters from some high-dimensional data, using some kind of regularized estimates. The regularizer introduces some bias into the estimates, but it ...

### Deal with NA's in power transformed data

I'm running a LASSO regression following this guide. I pre - processed my dependent variable using a simple power transformation to obtain a standard normal distribution. Unfortunately, this means I ...

### Performance of linear least squares regression subject to inequality (bounded interval) constraints on parameters

Consider the following model: $${\bf y} = {\bf X}{\bf b} + {\bf e}$$ where ${\bf y}, {\bf n}\in {\cal R}^m$, ${\bf b}\in{\cal R}^n$, and ${\bf X}\in{\cal R}^{m \times n}$ where \$m>n = {\rm rank}(...

### Where does the standard error come from in Lasso?

I'm using Lasso to get the best variables to predict an outcome. I understand that this graph gives me λmin and λ1se However, I don't understand how to get that standard error theoretically. Where ...
