The Lasso is a very well known penalized regression model, which adds an L1L_{1} penalty with parameter λ1λ_{1} on the coefficients to the squared error loss function. The Fused Lasso extends this model by also putting an L1L_{1} penalty with parameter λ2λ_{2} on the difference of neighboring coefficients, assuming the…

In a recent paper, it is shown that the LASSO algorithm exhibits "near-ideal behavior," in the following sense: Suppose y=Az+ηy = Az + η where AA satisfies the restricted isometry property (RIP) with a sufficiently small constant, and η2ε\Vert η\Vert_2 \leq ε. Then minimizing z1\Vert z \Vert_1 subject to $\Vert y - Az \Ver…
