Full model vs. LASSO models After creating and evaluating the full model‚ a back model and step model were created using backwards selection and stepwise selection‚ respectively. Additionally‚ there were two LASSO models created. Both of these LASSO models were created using a weight of 4 (TPR) to 1 (FPR). Full Model 2 also has these weights‚ so we will use this model to compare to the LASSO models. The first LASSO model created was using “lambda 1SE.” This model was very minimal‚ only using 5
