==================================
L1-based models for Sparse Signals
==================================

The present example compares three l1-based regression models on a synthetic
signal obtained from sparse and correlated features that are further corrupted
with additive gaussian noise:

- a :ref:`lasso`;
- an :ref:`automatic_relevance_determination`;
- an :ref:`elastic_net`.

It is known that the Lasso estimates turn to be close to the model selection
estimates when the data dimensions grow, given that the irrelevant variables are
not too correlated with the relevant ones. In the presence of correlated
features, Lasso itself cannot select the correct sparsity pattern [1]_.

Here we compare the performance of the three models in terms of the :math:`R^2`
score, the fitting time and the sparsity of the estimated coefficients when
compared with the ground-truth.

# Generate synthetic dataset
# --------------------------
#
# We generate a dataset where the number of samples is lower than the total
# number of features. This leads to an underdetermined system, i.e. the solution
# is not unique, and thus we cannot apply an :ref:`ordinary_least_squares` by
# itself. Regularization introduces a penalty term to the objective function,
# which modifies the optimization problem and can help alleviate the
# underdetermined nature of the system.
#
# The target `y` is a linear combination with alternating signs of sinusoidal
# signals. Only the 10 lowest out of the 100 frequencies in `X` are used to
# generate `y`, while the rest of the features are not informative. This results
# in a high dimensional sparse feature space, where some degree of
# l1-penalization is necessary.

# Lasso
# -----
#
# In this example, we demo a :class:`~sklearn.linear_model.Lasso` with a fixed
# value of the regularization parameter `alpha`. In practice, the optimal
# parameter `alpha` should be selected by passing a
# :class:`~sklearn.model_selection.TimeSeriesSplit` cross-validation strategy to a
# :class:`~sklearn.linear_model.LassoCV`. To keep the example simple and fast to
# execute, we directly set the optimal value for alpha here.

# Automatic Relevance Determination (ARD)
# ---------------------------------------
#
# An ARD regression is the bayesian version of the Lasso. It can produce
# interval estimates for all of the parameters, including the error variance, if
# required. It is a suitable option when the signals have gaussian noise. See
# the example :ref:`sphx_glr_auto_examples_linear_model_plot_ard.py` for a
# comparison of :class:`~sklearn.linear_model.ARDRegression` and
# :class:`~sklearn.linear_model.BayesianRidge` regressors.

# ElasticNet
# ----------
#
# :class:`~sklearn.linear_model.ElasticNet` is a middle ground between
# :class:`~sklearn.linear_model.Lasso` and :class:`~sklearn.linear_model.Ridge`,
# as it combines a L1 and a L2-penalty. The amount of regularization is
# controlled by the two hyperparameters `l1_ratio` and `alpha`. For `l1_ratio =
# 0` the penalty is pure L2 and the model is equivalent to a
# :class:`~sklearn.linear_model.Ridge`. Similarly, `l1_ratio = 1` is a pure L1
# penalty and the model is equivalent to a :class:`~sklearn.linear_model.Lasso`.
# For `0 < l1_ratio < 1`, the penalty is a combination of L1 and L2.
#
# As done before, we train the model with fix values for `alpha` and `l1_ratio`.
# To select their optimal value we used an
# :class:`~sklearn.linear_model.ElasticNetCV`, not shown here to keep the
# example simple.

# %%
# In the present example :class:`~sklearn.linear_model.ElasticNet` yields the
# best score and captures the most of the predictive features, yet still fails
# at finding all the true components. Notice that both
# :class:`~sklearn.linear_model.ElasticNet` and
# :class:`~sklearn.linear_model.ARDRegression` result in a less sparse model
# than a :class:`~sklearn.linear_model.Lasso`.
#
# Conclusions
# -----------
#
# :class:`~sklearn.linear_model.Lasso` is known to recover sparse data
# effectively but does not perform well with highly correlated features. Indeed,
# if several correlated features contribute to the target,
# :class:`~sklearn.linear_model.Lasso` would end up selecting a single one of
# them. In the case of sparse yet non-correlated features, a
# :class:`~sklearn.linear_model.Lasso` model would be more suitable.
#
# :class:`~sklearn.linear_model.ElasticNet` introduces some sparsity on the
# coefficients and shrinks their values to zero. Thus, in the presence of
# correlated features that contribute to the target, the model is still able to
# reduce their weights without setting them exactly to zero. This results in a
# less sparse model than a pure :class:`~sklearn.linear_model.Lasso` and may
# capture non-predictive features as well.
#
# :class:`~sklearn.linear_model.ARDRegression` is better when handling gaussian
# noise, but is still unable to handle correlated features and requires a larger
# amount of time due to fitting a prior.
