The Birth of Sparsity: Historical Roots and Conceptual Foundation of the Lasso

The story of the Lasso begins with the challenge of high-dimensional statistics. Classical linear regression worked beautifully when the number of observations far exceeded the number of variables, but as scientists began to collect richer data, we soon found ourselves in situations where predictors...

Mathematical Formulation and Geometry of the Lasso

Let us step inside the mathematics. The classical Lasso problem can be formulated as a constrained optimization: minimize the residual sum of squares subject to an upper bound on the L1 norm of the coefficients. Equivalently, one may view it as a penalized optimization, adding the L1 norm times a re...
