  • Supports element-wise sparsity and group-wise shrinkage.
  • Includes both convex and non-convex penalties (e.g., adaptive lasso, SCAD, MCP).
  • Provides model selection tools (e.g., CV, EBIC, HBIC).
• Designed for applications where variables exhibit grouped or modular relationships (e.g., brain networks, biological pathways).
