Hi there, I’m a Master’s student in Statistics. I’ve recently been researching ‘safe screening rules’ for accelerating Lasso solvers. These can improve computation times by orders of magnitude when the number of features is large. I’d like to create a package implementing these methods in Julia to…

When implementing a specific, mostly standalone algorithm, I think it is best to put it in a small package, well-tested, documented, with a very lightweight interface. This has the following advantages: the code should remain functional work a long time, because of the simple setup, and should be…
