Asg is a Python package that solves penalized linear regression and quantile regression models for simultaneous variable selection and prediction, for both high and low dimensional frameworks. It makes very easy to set up and solve different types of lasso-based penalizations among which the asgl (adaptive sparse group lasso, that gives name to the package) is remarked. This package is built on top of cvxpy, a Python-embedded modeling language for convex optimization problems and makes extensive use of multiprocessing, a Python module for parallel computing that significantly reduces computation times of asgl.
