Elastic Net

Elastic Net is a regularized linear regression method introduced by Zou and Hastie in 2005 that blends the LASSO (L1) and Ridge (L2) penalties, so it performs variable selection and coefficient shrinkage at the same time. It is designed for predictive and explanatory modelling on data with many, possibly correlated, predictors.
