Rezumat	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.	Random Forest is an ensemble learning method, introduced by Leo Breiman in 2001, that grows many decision trees on bootstrap samples of the data and combines their votes to produce strong classification and regression. By pooling many slightly different trees, it produces more accurate and more stable predictions than any single tree.	Ridge Regression is an L2-regularized linear regression method, introduced by Arthur Hoerl and Robert Kennard in 1970, that reduces multicollinearity by adding a penalty on the size of the coefficients. It shrinks coefficients toward zero without setting any of them exactly to zero, producing more stable estimates when predictors are highly correlated.
