Course Overview
Ridge and lasso regressions are machine learning algorithms with an integrated regularization functionality. Built upon the essentials of linear regression with an additional penalty term, they serve as a calibrating tool for preventing overfitting. In this hands-on course, you will learn how to apply ridge and lasso regression in Python and determine which of the two is the best choice for your particular dataset.

In this section, we will walk you through the implementation of ridge and lasso regression using sk-learn in Python. We apply these methods to a real dataset in order to increase the performance of a regression algorithm by preventing overfitting. Furthermore, we demonstrate how regularization works and uncover the differences between ridge and lasso models.
