Elastic Net is a regularization technique that combines both L1 (Lasso) and L2 (Ridge) penalties to improve the prediction accuracy and interpretability of statistical models. It is particularly useful in situations where there are highly correlated features, as it encourages a sparse solution while also retaining some of the regularization properties of Ridge regression. This dual approach allows for better feature selection and can handle scenarios where the number of predictors exceeds the number of observations.
congrats on reading the definition of Elastic Net. now let's actually learn it.
