Regularization
Overview and Rationale
In order to consolidate your theoretical knowledge into technique and skills with practical
and applicational value, you will use the glmnet() package in R to implement LASSO
function to build linear and logistic models through LASSO over values of regularization
parameter lambda.
Course Outcomes
This assignment is directly linked to the following key learning outcomes from the course
syllabus:
• Conduct regularization method for models to describe relationships among
variables and make useful predictions
Assignment Summary
Use one of the real world example data sets from R (not previously used in the R practice
assignment) or a dataset you have found, to build regularization models by using Lasso
(least absolute shrinkage and selection operator) and extend Lasso model fitting to big data
that cannot be loaded into memory. You will fit solution paths for linear or logistic
regression models penalized by Lasso over a grid of values for the regularization
parameter lambda.
Use the resources in this module to guide your R code development.
Report
Your assignment/project should have a good cover/title page, introduction of what the
goals of the project and the methods you use. It also should follow APA format with at least
1000 words (excluding title page and references page) and references page. In the body of
your project you should incorporate the R codes and R outputs with interpretation of your
results. Be sure to show all the elements in the official hypothesis, including the null and
alternative hypothesis, the critical values, calculation of the test statistics and p-values.
Finally, you need to make sense of your results to make good points with proper
conclusions, to show your understanding of the course material and its application to the
dataset.
Graphs, figures, charts, tables are very useful to increase visual effects to impress your
readers. You also should do your best to give insight and understanding to the project with
a good conclusion. Please use subtitles to make your assignment more reader friendly as
well.

Introduction
Introduction provides a
brief and intelligible
overview of the goals and
methods of the
assignment
Introduction provides an
overview of the goals and
methods of the
assignment, but is
ambiguous or not concise
Does not introduce
project goals, project
questions or methods.
Analysis
Provides all R code and
the outputs. Includes
interpretation of the
output, graphs, figures,
charts, and tables and the
significance of the results
in the analysis.
Provides R codes and
outputs, but the R code
does not match the
outputs or is missing
some code or outputs.
Includes limited
interpretations, charts,
and tables and the
significance of the results
in the analysis.
Does not provide R code
or its outputs or minimal
R code is provided.
Includes few
interpretations, charts, or
tables. Does not identify
the significance of the
results in the analysis
Data
Visualizations
Data visualizations are
appropriate for the level
and type of analysis.
Graphs, figures and tables
communicate insights and
significance to the reader.
Data visualization are
useful for the level and
type of analysis, but
graphs, figures and tables
do not clearly
communicate significance
of the results to the
reader.
Data visualization are
used minimally or not at
all. If graphs, figures and
tables are used, it is
unclear what they are
intended to communicate
or why.
Interpretation &
Conclusions
The conclusion
summarizes and makes
sense of the results,
making good points that
reflect clear
understanding of the
assignment material.
The conclusion
summarizes and makes
sense of the results,
making good points that
reflect a basic
understanding of the
assignment material.
The conclusion does not
summarize or attempt to
make sense of the results.
Conclusions do not reflect
an understanding or
reflect a
misunderstanding of the
material
