Abstract

Description

Least Angle Regression is a promising technique for variable selection applications, offering a nice alternative to stepwise regression. It provides an explanation for the similar behavior of LASSO ($\ell_1$-penalized regression) and forward stagewise regression, and provides a fast implementation of both. The idea has caught on rapidly, and sparked a great deal of research interest. In this paper, we give an overview of Least Angle Regression and the current state of related research.
