r-cran-glmnet - 2.0-16-2 main

Extremely efficient procedures for fitting the entire lasso or elastic-net
regularization path for linear regression, logistic and multinomial
regression models, Poisson regression and the Cox model. Two recent
additions are the multiple-response Gaussian, and the grouped multinomial.
The algorithm uses cyclical coordinate descent in a path-wise fashion, as
described in the paper Introduction to Glmnet.
