fastwmean

A set of tools that enables efficient estimation of penalized
Poisson Pseudo Maximum Likelihood regressions, using lasso or ridge penalties, for models
that feature one or more sets of high-dimensional fixed effects. The methodology is based on
Breinlich, Corradi, Rocha, Ruta, Santos Silva, and Zylkin (2021) <http://hdl.handle.net/10986/35451>
and takes advantage of the method of alternating projections of Gaure (2013)
<doi:10.1016/j.csda.2013.03.024> for dealing with HDFE, as well as
the coordinate descent algorithm of Friedman, Hastie and Tibshirani (2010)
<doi:10.18637/jss.v033.i01> for fitting lasso regressions. The package is also able to carry out
cross-validation and to implement the plugin lasso of Belloni, Chernozhukov, Hansen and Kozbur (2016)
