Elastic net regularization.
Routines for fitting regression models using elastic net
regularization. The elastic net minimizes the objective function
-llf / nobs + alpha((1 - L1_wt) * sum(params**2) / 2 +
L1_wt * sum(abs(params)))
The algorithm implemented here closely follows the implementation in
the R glmnet package, documented here:
http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/glmnet/index.html
and here:
http://www.jstatsoft.org/v33/i01/paper
This routine should work for any regression model that implements
loglike, score, and hess.

"""
Return an elastic net regularized fit to a regression model.
Parameters
----------
model : model object
A statsmodels object implementing ``loglike``, ``score``, and
``hessian``.
method : {'coord_descent'}
Only the coordinate descent algorithm is implemented.
maxiter : int
The maximum number of iteration cycles (an iteration cycle
involves running coordinate descent on all variables).
alpha : scalar or array_like
The penalty weight. If a scalar, the same penalty weight
applies to all variables in the model. If a vector, it
must have the same length as `params`, and contains a
penalty weight for each coefficient.
L1_wt : scalar
The fraction of the penalty given to the L1 penalty term.
Must be between 0 and 1 (inclusive). If 0, the fit is
a ridge fit, if 1 it is a lasso fit.
start_params : array_like
Starting values for `params`.
cnvrg_tol : scalar
If `params` changes by less than this amount (in sup-norm)
in one iteration cycle, the algorithm terminates with
convergence.
zero_tol : scalar
Any estimated coefficient smaller than this value is
replaced with zero.
refit : bool
If True, the model is refit using only the variables that have
non-zero coefficients in the regularized fit. The refitted
model is not regularized.
check_step : bool
If True, confirm that the first step is an improvement and search
further if it is not.
loglike_kwds : dict-like or None
Keyword arguments for the log-likelihood function.
score_kwds : dict-like or None
Keyword arguments for the score function.
hess_kwds : dict-like or None
Keyword arguments for the Hessian function.
Returns
-------
Results
A results object.
Notes
-----
The ``elastic net`` penalty is a combination of L1 and L2
penalties.
The function that is minimized is:
-loglike/n + alpha*((1-L1_wt)*|params|_2^2/2 + L1_wt*|params|_1)
where |*|_1 and |*|_2 are the L1 and L2 norms.
The computational approach used here is to obtain a quadratic
approximation to the smooth part of the target function:
-loglike/n + alpha*(1-L1_wt)*|params|_2^2/2
then repeatedly optimize the L1 penalized version of this function
along coordinate axes.

# quadratic we can solve for the argmin exactly. Otherwise we
