Regression Shrinkage and Selection via the Lasso
This paper introduces the Lasso method, which simultaneously shrinks regression coefficients (to prevent overfitting) and performs feature selection by setting some coefficients exactly to zero.
Lasso adds an L1 penalty term to the least squares cost function, pushing coefficients toward zero and producing a sparse model.
Lasso was shown to produce more interpretable models compared to Ridge regression and works well in high-dimensional settings.
When the number of features exceeds the number of samples, Lasso selects at most n features; it also selects only one from a group of correlated features.
Lasso is widely used in genomics (selecting influential genes), finance (identifying risk factors), and machine learning for dimensionality reduction and overfitting prevention.
