//! ElasticNet regression (combined L1 and L2 regularization).
//!
//! This module provides [`ElasticNet`], which fits a linear model with a
//! blended L1/L2 regularization penalty using coordinate descent with
//! soft-thresholding:
//!
//! ```text
//! minimize (1/(2n)) * ||X @ w - y||^2
//!        + alpha * l1_ratio * ||w||_1
//!        + (alpha/2) * (1 - l1_ratio) * ||w||_2^2
//! ```
//!
//! When `l1_ratio = 1`, ElasticNet is equivalent to Lasso. When
//! `l1_ratio = 0`, it is equivalent to Ridge. Intermediate values produce
//! solutions that are both sparse (L1) and small in magnitude (L2).
//!
//! # Examples
//!
//! ```
//! use ferrolearn_linear::ElasticNet;
//! use ferrolearn_core::{Fit, Predict};
//! use ndarray::{array, Array1, Array2};
//!
//! let model = ElasticNet::<f64>::new()
//!     .with_alpha(0.1)
//!     .with_l1_ratio(0.5);
//! let x = Array2::from_shape_vec((4, 1), vec![1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0]).unwrap();
//! let y = array![2.0, 4.0, 6.0, 8.0];
//!
//! let fitted = model.fit(&x, &y).unwrap();
//! let preds = fitted.predict(&x).unwrap();
//! ```
