Variable selection using least angle regression

The least-angle regression (LARS) (Efrron, Hastie, Johnstone, and Tibshirani, 2004) is a technique used with the absence of data that consist of many independent variables. Suppose we expect a response variable to be determined by a linear combination of a subset of potential covariates. Then the LA...

Description
Summary:The least-angle regression (LARS) (Efrron, Hastie, Johnstone, and Tibshirani, 2004) is a technique used with the absence of data that consist of many independent variables. Suppose we expect a response variable to be determined by a linear combination of a subset of potential covariates. Then the LARS algorithm provides a means of producing an estimate of which variables to include, as well as their coefficients. The MATLAB programming codes are developed in order to solve the algorithms systematically and effortlessly.
