Vignette Abstract

This vignette focuses on disscussing the difference between three regularization method: LASSO, Ridge and Elastic Net. A dataset from WTO, containing life expectancy and other 19 variables collecting around the world, is used to fit penalized regression models.

Reference List

One resource to look at are the sections on penalized regression approaches in Dr. Andrea Bellavia's book “Statistical methods for Environmental Mixtures," covering the three approaches we went over.

For a programming implementation in R, the following link compares the three different model conceptually and goes over the code:
