Fast tools for fitting sparse generalized linear models with convex penalties (lasso) and concave penalties (smoothly clipped absolute deviation and minimax concave penalty). Computation uses multi-stage convex relaxation and pathwise coordinate optimization with warm starts, active-set updates, and screening rules. Core solvers are implemented in C++, and coefficient paths are stored as sparse matrices for memory efficiency.
