Lasso regression objective did not converge
Here is my code. When I run it the ridge is fine, however for the lasso I get the error message:
ConvergenceWarning: Objective did not converge. You might want to increase the number of iterations.
Please help.

glmnet computation time differences - Why?
glmnet seems to slow down in an application I'm doing (Joint Lasso) if one parameter increases.
I figured out that the matrix I am giving to glmnet increases in its second half. It is comparable to the code below where the first half of X has the…

R biglasso results don't match hdm or glmnet
I've been experimenting with the R package 'biglasso' for high-dimensional data. However, the results I'm getting don't match the results I get for the LASSO functions from 'hdm' or 'glmnet. The documentation for biglasso is also really poor.
In the…

Can the input for "Lasso" in python contain categorical variables?
I want to perform multiple linear regression in python with lasso. I am not sure whether the input observation matrix X can contain categorical variables. I read the instructions from here: lasso in python
But it is simple and not indicate the types…

Prediction intervals for penalized linear regression
Background:
I am running a univariate linear regression model (OLS) and outputting a prediction interval for Y_hat. The linear model mostly suits my task up to now as it provides needed interpretability, while being simple and fast.
Now, however,…

How to generate Coefficient >0 in lasso regression or any other method?
I am running below code to generate all the coefficient positive:
from sklearn.linear_model import Lasso
pos = Lasso(positive=True)
pos.fit(X,y)
list(pos.coef_)
the above code give me positive coefficient or "0" but I need all to be positive with…

Question regarding LASSO confidence intervals using selectiveinference package in R
I want to get the confidence intervals for LASSO regression. For this, I used the selective inference package in R.
The fixedLassoInf function in this package provides the confidence intervals for lasso regression for a given value of lambda. Also,…

How to inverse transform regression predictions after pipeline?
I'm trying to figure out how to unscale my data (presumably using inverse_transform) for predictions when I'm using a pipeline. The data below is just an example. My actual data is much larger and complicated, but I'm looking to use RobustScaler (as…

Why I get different results of shrinkage parameter lambda with glmnet and penalized?
I am studing variable selection using LASSO (least absolute shrinkage and selection operator) with Cox model, I use two R packages glmnet and penalized.
I use cv.glmnet and optL1 to find the optimal shrinkage parameter $\lambda$.
My question is :…

On how to solve for the sparse OLS - how to apply `l1` minimization in Matlab (educational purpose)
min_{a*x=y} +lambda*norm(\hat{a},1) is the objective function where a is the vector of coefficients, y denotes the noisy measurements and x is the unobserved input signal. I am aware of lasso() function but I don't prefer to use the inbuilt function…
