This lecture provides an overview of some modern regression techniques including a discussion of the bias variance tradeoff for regression errors and the topic of shrinkage estimators. This leads into an overview of ridge regression, LASSO, and elastic nets. These topics will be discussed in detail and we will go through the calibration/diagnostics and then conclude with a practical example highlighting the techniques.
