    Abstract

    The Lasso is a very well known penalized regression model, which adds an
    $L_{1}$ penalty with parameter $\lambda_{1}$ on the coefficients to the squared
    error loss function. The Fused Lasso extends this model by also putting an
    $L_{1}$ penalty with parameter $\lambda_{2}$ on the difference of neighboring
    coefficients, assuming there is a natural ordering. In this paper, we develop a
    fast path algorithm for solving the Fused Lasso Signal Approximator that
    computes the solutions for all values of $\lambda_1$ and $\lambda_2$.
