Title: Gradient Descent LASSO with Stability Selection and Bootstrapped Confidence Intervals
Version: 0.1.1
Description: Implements LASSO regression using gradient descent with support for Gaussian, Binomial, Negative Binomial, and Zero-Inflated Negative Binomial (ZINB) families. Features cross-validation for determining lambda, stability selection, and bootstrapping for confidence intervals. Methods described in Tibshirani (1996) <doi:10.1111/j.2517-6161.1996.tb02080.x> and Meinshausen and Buhlmann (2010) <doi:10.1111/j.1467-9868.2010.00740.x>.
