        PICASSO: Penalized Generalized Linear Model Solver - Unleash the Power of Non-convex Penalty
        
        Unleash the power of nonconvex penalty
        --------------------------------------
        L1 penalized regression (LASSO) is great for feature selection. However when you use LASSO in
        very noisy setting, especially when some columns in your data have strong colinearity, LASSO
        tends to give biased estimator due to the penalty term. As demonstrated in the example below,
        the lowest estimation error among all the lambdas computed is as high as **16.41%**.
        
        
        
        Installation
        ------------
        
        Install from source file (Github):

        - Make sure `python-package/pycasso/lib` is deleted before installing.
        - Build the source file first via the ``cmake`` with ``CMakeLists.txt`` in the root directory.
          (You will see a lib file under ``(root)/lib/`` )
        -  Make sure you have
           `setuptools <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools>`__
        -  Install with ``cd python-package; python setup.py install`` command from this directory.
        
        Install from PyPI:
        
        - ``pip install pycasso``
        - **Note**: Owing to the setting on different OS, our binary distribution might not be working in your environment. Thus please build from source.
