R code from the Copenhagen useR meeting, February 16, 2016:
There is no r in lasso, but plenty of lasso in R!
See the final presentation for the result.
The code for the presentation is lasso.Rpres for RStudio, which generates an HTML presentation.
The movie.R file generates the gif animations.
The presentation contains my interpretation of some of the history of lasso and the development of suitable algorithms and R packages for computing the lasso solution.
