test_code.py

A comprehensive intermediate course on regularization and feature selection in Python using scikit-learn, numpy, pandas, matplotlib, and seaborn. Learn to combat overfitting, apply L1/L2/Elastic Net regularization, select features using various strategies, and build robust pipelines for real-world data science tasks.

Explore the motivation for regularization, compare L1 and L2 penalties, and implement Ridge and Lasso regression.

Learn and apply filter, wrapper, and embedded feature selection methods, and integrate them into pipelines.

Delve into Elastic Net, hyperparameter tuning, coefficient visualization, and practical workflow challenges.
