picasso (version 1.5)

Sparse Learning with Convex and Concave Penalties

Description

Fast tools for fitting sparse generalized linear models with convex penalties (lasso) and concave penalties (smoothly clipped absolute deviation and minimax concave penalty). Computation uses multi-stage convex relaxation and pathwise coordinate optimization with warm starts, active-set updates, and screening rules. Core solvers are implemented in C++, and coefficient paths are stored as sparse matrices for memory efficiency.
