Homework 7: Due 29 Oct 2017 23h59 (Mon; midnight)

You may do this homework in groups of up to three

Submission: Submission process to be announced

You may use any programming language that amuses you for this homework, BUT much experience shows that the python lasso code leads to problems (the versions used in the past have not been smart about the regularization path). This is really straightforward if you use R. You'll need to use glmnet (which will do the heavy lifting for you; read the manual). If you plot the result of an cv.glmnet you'll get the plots I showed in class.
