    """Compute Least Angle Regression or Lasso path using LARS algorithm [1]

    The optimization objective for the case method='lasso' is::

    (1 / (2 * n_samples)) * ||y - Xw||^2_2 + alpha * ||w||_1

    in the case of method='lars', the objective function is only known in
    the form of an implicit equation (see discussion in [1])

    Read more in the :ref:`User Guide <least_angle_regression>`.

    Parameters
    -----------
    X : array, shape: (n_samples, n_features)
        Input data.

    y : array, shape: (n_samples)
        Input targets.

    Xy : array-like, shape (n_samples,) or (n_samples, n_targets), \
            optional
        Xy = np.dot(X.T, y) that can be precomputed. It is useful
        only when the Gram matrix is precomputed.

    Gram : None, 'auto', array, shape: (n_features, n_features), optional
        Precomputed Gram matrix (X' * X), if ``'auto'``, the Gram
        matrix is precomputed from the given X, if there are more samples
        than features.

    max_iter : integer, optional (default=500)
        Maximum number of iterations to perform, set to infinity for no limit.

    alpha_min : float, optional (default=0)
        Minimum correlation along the path. It corresponds to the
        regularization parameter alpha parameter in the Lasso.

    method : {'lar', 'lasso'}, optional (default='lar')
        Specifies the returned model. Select ``'lar'`` for Least Angle
        Regression, ``'lasso'`` for the Lasso.

    copy_X : bool, optional (default=True)
        If ``False``, ``X`` is overwritten.

    eps : float, optional (default=``np.finfo(np.float).eps``)
        The machine-precision regularization in the computation of the
        Cholesky diagonal factors. Increase this for very ill-conditioned
        systems.

    copy_Gram : bool, optional (default=True)
        If ``False``, ``Gram`` is overwritten.

    verbose : int (default=0)
        Controls output verbosity.

    return_path : bool, optional (default=True)
        If ``return_path==True`` returns the entire path, else returns only the
        last point of the path.

    return_n_iter : bool, optional (default=False)
        Whether to return the number of iterations.

    positive : boolean (default=False)
        Restrict coefficients to be >= 0.
        This option is only allowed with method 'lasso'. Note that the model
        coefficients will not converge to the ordinary-least-squares solution
        for small values of alpha. Only coefficients up to the smallest alpha
        value (``alphas_[alphas_ > 0.].min()`` when fit_path=True) reached by
        the stepwise Lars-Lasso algorithm are typically in congruence with the
        solution of the coordinate descent lasso_path function.

    Returns
    --------
    alphas : array, shape: [n_alphas + 1]
        Maximum of covariances (in absolute value) at each iteration.
        ``n_alphas`` is either ``max_iter``, ``n_features`` or the
        number of nodes in the path with ``alpha >= alpha_min``, whichever
        is smaller.

    active : array, shape [n_alphas]
        Indices of active variables at the end of the path.

    coefs : array, shape (n_features, n_alphas + 1)
        Coefficients along the path

    n_iter : int
        Number of iterations run. Returned only if return_n_iter is set
        to True.

class Lars(LinearModel, RegressorMixin):
    """Least Angle Regression model a.k.a. LAR

    Read more in the :ref:`User Guide <least_angle_regression>`.

    Parameters
    ----------
    fit_intercept : boolean
        Whether to calculate the intercept for this model. If set
        to false, no intercept will be used in calculations
        (e.g. data is expected to be already centered).

    verbose : boolean or integer, optional
        Sets the verbosity amount

    normalize : boolean, optional, default True
        This parameter is ignored when ``fit_intercept`` is set to False.
        If True, the regressors X will be normalized before regression by
        subtracting the mean and dividing by the l2-norm.
        If you wish to standardize, please use
        :class:`sklearn.preprocessing.StandardScaler` before calling ``fit``
        on an estimator with ``normalize=False``.

    precompute : True | False | 'auto' | array-like
        Whether to use a precomputed Gram matrix to speed up
        calculations. If set to ``'auto'`` let us decide. The Gram
        matrix can also be passed as argument.

    n_nonzero_coefs : int, optional
        Target number of non-zero coefficients. Use ``np.inf`` for no limit.

    eps : float, optional
        The machine-precision regularization in the computation of the
        Cholesky diagonal factors. Increase this for very ill-conditioned
        systems. Unlike the ``tol`` parameter in some iterative
        optimization-based algorithms, this parameter does not control
        the tolerance of the optimization.

    copy_X : boolean, optional, default True
        If ``True``, X will be copied; else, it may be overwritten.

    fit_path : boolean
        If True the full path is stored in the ``coef_path_`` attribute.
        If you compute the solution for a large problem or many targets,
        setting ``fit_path`` to ``False`` will lead to a speedup, especially
        with a small alpha.

    positive : boolean (default=False)
        Restrict coefficients to be >= 0. Be aware that you might want to
        remove fit_intercept which is set True by default.

        .. deprecated:: 0.20

            The option is broken and deprecated. It will be removed in v0.22.

    Attributes
    ----------
    alphas_ : array, shape (n_alphas + 1,) | list of n_targets such arrays
        Maximum of covariances (in absolute value) at each iteration. \
        ``n_alphas`` is either ``n_nonzero_coefs`` or ``n_features``, \
        whichever is smaller.

    active_ : list, length = n_alphas | list of n_targets such lists
        Indices of active variables at the end of the path.

    coef_path_ : array, shape (n_features, n_alphas + 1) \
        | list of n_targets such arrays
        The varying values of the coefficients along the path. It is not
        present if the ``fit_path`` parameter is ``False``.

    coef_ : array, shape (n_features,) or (n_targets, n_features)
        Parameter vector (w in the formulation formula).

    intercept_ : float | array, shape (n_targets,)
        Independent term in decision function.

    n_iter_ : array-like or int
        The number of iterations taken by lars_path to find the
        grid of alphas for each target.

    Examples
    --------

    Read more in the :ref:`User Guide <least_angle_regression>`.

    Parameters
    ----------
    alpha : float
        Constant that multiplies the penalty term. Defaults to 1.0.
        ``alpha = 0`` is equivalent to an ordinary least square, solved
        by :class:`LinearRegression`. For numerical reasons, using
        ``alpha = 0`` with the LassoLars object is not advised and you
        should prefer the LinearRegression object.

    fit_intercept : boolean
        whether to calculate the intercept for this model. If set
        to false, no intercept will be used in calculations
        (e.g. data is expected to be already centered).

        matrix can also be passed as argument.

    max_iter : integer, optional
        Maximum number of iterations to perform.

    positive : boolean (default=False)
        Restrict coefficients to be >= 0. Be aware that you might want to

        Under the positive restriction the model coefficients will not converge

        coordinate descent Lasso estimator.

    Attributes
    ----------
    alphas_ : array, shape (n_alphas + 1,) | list of n_targets such arrays
        Maximum of covariances (in absolute value) at each iteration. \
        ``n_alphas`` is either ``max_iter``, ``n_features``, or the number of \
        nodes in the path with correlation greater than ``alpha``, whichever \

        Indices of active variables at the end of the path.

    coef_path_ : array, shape (n_features, n_alphas + 1) or list
        If a list is passed it's expected to be one of n_targets such arrays.
        The varying values of the coefficients along the path. It is not
        present if the ``fit_path`` parameter is ``False``.

    coef_ : array, shape (n_features,) or (n_targets, n_features)
        Parameter vector (w in the formulation formula).

    intercept_ : float | array, shape (n_targets,)

    Notes
    -----

    The object solves the same problem as the LassoCV object. However,
    unlike the LassoCV, it find the relevant alphas values by itself.
    In general, because of this property, it will be more stable.
    However, it is more fragile to heavily multicollinear datasets.

    It is more efficient than the LassoCV if only a small number of
    features are selected compared to the total number, for instance if
    there are very few samples compared to the number of features.

        algorithm are typically in congruence with the solution of the
        coordinate descent Lasso estimator.
        As a consequence using LassoLarsIC only makes sense for problems where
        a sparse solution is expected and/or reached.


    Attributes
    ----------
    coef_ : array, shape (n_features,)
        parameter vector (w in the formulation formula)

    intercept_ : float
        independent term in decision function.

    alpha_ : float
        the alpha parameter chosen by the information criterion

    n_iter_ : int
        number of iterations run by lars_path to find the grid of
        alphas.

    criterion_ : array, shape (n_alphas,)
        The value of the information criteria ('aic', 'bic') across all
        alphas. The alpha which has the smallest information criterion is
        chosen. This value is larger by a factor of ``n_samples`` compared to
        Eqns. 2.15 and 2.16 in (Zou et al, 2007).


    Examples
    --------
    >>> from sklearn import linear_model
    >>> reg = linear_model.LassoLarsIC(criterion='bic')
    >>> reg.fit([[-1, 1], [0, 0], [1, 1]], [-1.1111, 0, -1.1111])
    ... # doctest: +ELLIPSIS, +NORMALIZE_WHITESPACE
    LassoLarsIC(copy_X=True, criterion='bic', eps=..., fit_intercept=True,
          max_iter=500, normalize=True, positive=False, precompute='auto',
          verbose=False)
    >>> print(reg.coef_) # doctest: +ELLIPSIS, +NORMALIZE_WHITESPACE
    [ 0.  -1.11...]
