Dealing with Collinearity using Lasso Regression

Vinod Chugani always moves in the same direction:

One of the significant challenges statisticians and data scientists face is multicollinearity, particularly its most severe form, perfect multicollinearity. This issue often lurks undetected in large datasets with many features, potentially disguising itself and skewing the results of statistical models.

In this post, we explore the methods for detecting, addressing, and refining models affected by perfect multicollinearity. Through practical analysis and examples, we aim to equip you with the tools necessary to enhance your models’ robustness and interpretability, ensuring that they deliver reliable insights and accurate predictions.

Read on to learn a bit more about how collinearity works and how you can use lasso regression (instead of ridge regression) to deal with the problem.
