Questiоn 5: Ridge, Grоup Lаssо аnd Elаstic Net Regularization - 19 points For this question, use the trainData. a i. Perform ridge regression. Use 10-fold CV to find the optimal lambda value and display it. Fit a model with 100 values of lambda. (2 points) ii. Display the coefficients at optimal lambda. How many variables were selected by ridge regression? Was this result expected? Explain. (2 points) iii. Plot the coefficient path for ridge regression (2 points) b. i Perform group lasso regression. Use 10-fold CV to find the optimal lambda value and display it. Fit a model with 100 values of lambda (assign each predictor to its own group). (2 points) ii. Extract coefficients at the optimal lambda. State the variables that are selected by group lasso regression. (2 points) iii. Plot the coefficient path for group lasso regression. (2 points) c. State the advantage(s) of group lasso regression over traditional Lasso regression model. (2 points) d. i. Perform elastic net regression. Adjust the parameters so that the model places three times more emphasis on the lasso penalty compared to the ridge penalty. Use 10-fold CV to find the optimal lambda value and display it. Fit a model with 100 values of lambda. (3 points) ii. Display the coefficients at optimal lambda. How many variables were selected by elastic net regression? (2 points)

Mаnufаcturer hаs made a new electric car with a pоwerful оnbоard computing system.  Video advertisements produced by Manufacturer show drivers releasing hold of the steering wheel while operating this vehicle.  When doing so, the video shows the car navigating through traffic without driver assistance.  Words then appear on screen that read: "Self-Driving Mode" Phillip is a salesperson who spends a great deal of time driving to meet with clients.  After seeing the advertisement for Manufacturer's new electric vehicle, Phillip purchased one of these cars from Dealership.  At the time of purchase, Phillip signed an agreement that included this clause: "Seller disclaims any warranties or guarantees. A few days after purchasing this vehicle, Phillip used this car for a cross-country trip to meet with a client.  After several hours of driving, Phillip began to feel tired, so he released control of the steering wheel.  Phillip tried to stay alert while in this "self-driving mode," but with nothing to do, Phillip's eyes closed and he fell asleep.  Shortly thereafter, the car took a sudden turn and left the road, crashing into a tree.  Phillip suffered severe injuries and the car was destroyed. Manufacturer had printed a warning which stated, "Drivers must always remain alert and be prepared to take immediate control of the steering wheel when the vehicle is being operated in its self-driving mode."  This warning was printed on the last page of the owner's manual.  Phillip had yet to even open this manual.  Thus, Phillip had never seen this warning. Later investigation revealed that control of the car had been lost due to coding errors in the vehicle's computer programming.  This computer programming had been designed by Software Maker, a third-party vendor.  Software Maker had sold this computer program to Manufacturer under a license agreement.  Manufacturer installed this same computer program in each of the vehicles it produced.  If Phillip brings suit against Dealership, Manufacturer and Software Maker, what result?  Discuss.
