abstract: Implements lasso pretraining for generalized linear models for data with
  grouped observations; data without grouped observations, but with multinomial responses;
  data with multiple Gaussian responses; and data with repeated measurements over
  time. The method fits a lasso model to an initial dataset and then uses its support
  and coefficient values to guide model fitting for a related task, which can improve
  performance by leveraging larger datasets and preserve interpretability by identifying
  features which are generally shared, and which are task specific. See Craig et al.
  (2026) <https://doi.org/10.1093/jrsssb/qkaf050> for details. Model fitting in this
  package is done with cv.glmnet() from the 'glmnet' package, and syntax closely follows
  that of 'glmnet' (Friedman, Hastie and Tibshirani (2010) <https://doi.org/10.18637/jss.v033.i01>).
