    Parameters
    ----------
    X : {array-like, sparse matrix}, shape (n_samples, n_features)

    alphas : ndarray, optional
        List of alphas where to compute the models.
        If ``None`` alphas are set automatically

    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.

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

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

    coef_init : array, shape (n_features, ) | None
        The initial values of the coefficients.

    verbose : bool or integer
        Amount of verbosity.

    return_n_iter : bool
        whether to return the number of iterations or not.

    positive : bool, default False
        If set to True, forces coefficients to be positive.
        (Only allowed when ``y.ndim == 1``).

    **params : kwargs
        keyword arguments passed to the coordinate descent solver.

    Returns
    -------
    alphas : array, shape (n_alphas,)
        The alphas along the path where models are computed.

    coefs : array, shape (n_features, n_alphas) or \
            (n_outputs, n_features, n_alphas)
        Coefficients along the path.

    dual_gaps : array, shape (n_alphas,)
        The dual gaps at the end of the optimization for each alpha.

    n_iters : array-like, shape (n_alphas,)
        The number of iterations taken by the coordinate descent optimizer to
        reach the specified tolerance for each alpha.

    Notes
    -----
    For an example, see
    :ref:`examples/linear_model/plot_lasso_coordinate_descent_path.py
    <sphx_glr_auto_examples_linear_model_plot_lasso_coordinate_descent_path.py>`.

    To avoid unnecessary memory duplication the X argument of the fit method
    should be directly passed as a Fortran-contiguous numpy array.

    Note that in certain cases, the Lars solver may be significantly
    faster to implement this functionality. In particular, linear
    interpolation can be used to retrieve model coefficients between the
    values output by lars_path

    Examples
    ---------

    Comparing lasso_path and lars_path with interpolation:

    >>> X = np.array([[1, 2, 3.1], [2.3, 5.4, 4.3]]).T
    >>> y = np.array([1, 2, 3.1])
    >>> # Use lasso_path to compute a coefficient path
    >>> _, coef_path, _ = lasso_path(X, y, alphas=[5., 1., .5])
    >>> print(coef_path)
    [[ 0.          0.          0.46874778]
     [ 0.2159048   0.4425765   0.23689075]]

    >>> # Now use lars_path and 1D linear interpolation to compute the
    >>> # same path
    >>> from sklearn.linear_model import lars_path
    >>> alphas, active, coef_path_lars = lars_path(X, y, method='lasso')

    >>> coef_path_continuous = interpolate.interp1d(alphas[::-1],
    ...                                             coef_path_lars[:, ::-1])
    >>> print(coef_path_continuous([5., 1., .5]))

    """Linear regression with combined L1 and L2 priors as regularizer.

    Minimizes the objective function::

            1 / (2 * n_samples) * ||y - Xw||^2_2
            + alpha * l1_ratio * ||w||_1
            + 0.5 * alpha * (1 - l1_ratio) * ||w||^2_2

    If you are interested in controlling the L1 and L2 penalty
    separately, keep in mind that this is equivalent to::

            a * L1 + b * L2

    where::

            alpha = a + b and l1_ratio = a / (a + b)

    The parameter l1_ratio corresponds to alpha in the glmnet R package while
    alpha corresponds to the lambda parameter in glmnet. Specifically, l1_ratio
    = 1 is the lasso penalty. Currently, l1_ratio <= 0.01 is not reliable,
    unless you supply your own sequence of alpha.

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

    Parameters
    ----------
    alpha : float, optional
        Constant that multiplies the penalty terms. Defaults to 1.0.
        See the notes for the exact mathematical meaning of this
        parameter.``alpha = 0`` is equivalent to an ordinary least square,
        solved by the :class:`LinearRegression` object. For numerical
        reasons, using ``alpha = 0`` with the ``Lasso`` object is not advised.
        Given this, you should use the :class:`LinearRegression` object.

    l1_ratio : float
        The ElasticNet mixing parameter, with ``0 <= l1_ratio <= 1``. For
        ``l1_ratio = 0`` the penalty is an L2 penalty. ``For l1_ratio = 1`` it
        is an L1 penalty.  For ``0 < l1_ratio < 1``, the penalty is a
        combination of L1 and L2.

    fit_intercept : bool
        Whether the intercept should be estimated or not. If ``False``, the
        data is assumed to be already centered.

    normalize : boolean, optional, default False
        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 | array-like
        Whether to use a precomputed Gram matrix to speed up
        calculations. The Gram matrix can also be passed as argument.
        For sparse input this option is always ``True`` to preserve sparsity.

    max_iter : int, optional
        The maximum number of iterations

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

    tol : float, optional
        The tolerance for the optimization: if the updates are
        smaller than ``tol``, the optimization code checks the
        dual gap for optimality and continues until it is smaller
        than ``tol``.

    warm_start : bool, optional
        When set to ``True``, reuse the solution of the previous call to fit as
        initialization, otherwise, just erase the previous solution.

    positive : bool, optional
        When set to ``True``, forces the coefficients to be positive.

    random_state : int, RandomState instance or None, optional, default None
        The seed of the pseudo random number generator that selects a random
        feature to update.  If int, random_state is the seed used by the random
        number generator; If RandomState instance, random_state is the random
        number generator; If None, the random number generator is the
        RandomState instance used by `np.random`. Used when ``selection`` ==
        'random'.

    selection : str, default 'cyclic'
        If set to 'random', a random coefficient is updated every iteration
        rather than looping over features sequentially by default. This
        (setting to 'random') often leads to significantly faster convergence
        especially when tol is higher than 1e-4.

    Attributes
    ----------
    coef_ : array, shape (n_features,) | (n_targets, n_features)
        parameter vector (w in the cost function formula)

    sparse_coef_ : scipy.sparse matrix, shape (n_features, 1) | \
            (n_targets, n_features)
        ``sparse_coef_`` is a readonly property derived from ``coef_``

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

    n_iter_ : array-like, shape (n_targets,)
        number of iterations run by the coordinate descent solver to reach
        the specified tolerance.

    Examples
    --------
    >>> from sklearn.linear_model import ElasticNet
    >>> from sklearn.datasets import make_regression
    >>>
    >>> X, y = make_regression(n_features=2, random_state=0)
    >>> regr = ElasticNet(random_state=0)
    >>> regr.fit(X, y)
    ElasticNet(alpha=1.0, copy_X=True, fit_intercept=True, l1_ratio=0.5,
          max_iter=1000, normalize=False, positive=False, precompute=False,
          random_state=0, selection='cyclic', tol=0.0001, warm_start=False)
    >>> print(regr.coef_) # doctest: +ELLIPSIS
    [ 18.83816048  64.55968825]
    >>> print(regr.intercept_) # doctest: +ELLIPSIS
    1.45126075617
    >>> print(regr.predict([[0, 0]])) # doctest: +ELLIPSIS
    [ 1.45126076]


    Notes
    -----
    To avoid unnecessary memory duplication the X argument of the fit method
    should be directly passed as a Fortran-contiguous numpy array.

# Lasso model

class Lasso(ElasticNet):

    The optimization objective for Lasso is::

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

    Technically the Lasso model is optimizing the same objective function as
    the Elastic Net with ``l1_ratio=1.0`` (no L2 penalty).

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

    Parameters
    ----------
    alpha : float, optional
        Constant that multiplies the L1 term. Defaults to 1.0.
        ``alpha = 0`` is equivalent to an ordinary least square, solved
        by the :class:`LinearRegression` object. For numerical
        reasons, using ``alpha = 0`` with the ``Lasso`` object is not advised.
        Given this, you should use the :class:`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).

    normalize : boolean, optional, default False
        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 | array-like, default=False
        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. For sparse input
        this option is always ``True`` to preserve sparsity.

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

    max_iter : int, optional
        The maximum number of iterations

    tol : float, optional
        The tolerance for the optimization: if the updates are
        smaller than ``tol``, the optimization code checks the
        dual gap for optimality and continues until it is smaller
        than ``tol``.

    warm_start : bool, optional
        When set to True, reuse the solution of the previous call to fit as
        initialization, otherwise, just erase the previous solution.

    positive : bool, optional
        When set to ``True``, forces the coefficients to be positive.

    random_state : int, RandomState instance or None, optional, default None
        The seed of the pseudo random number generator that selects a random
        feature to update.  If int, random_state is the seed used by the random
        number generator; If RandomState instance, random_state is the random
        number generator; If None, the random number generator is the
        RandomState instance used by `np.random`. Used when ``selection`` ==
        'random'.

    selection : str, default 'cyclic'
        If set to 'random', a random coefficient is updated every iteration
        rather than looping over features sequentially by default. This
        (setting to 'random') often leads to significantly faster convergence
        especially when tol is higher than 1e-4.

    Attributes
    ----------
    coef_ : array, shape (n_features,) | (n_targets, n_features)

    sparse_coef_ : scipy.sparse matrix, shape (n_features, 1) | \
            (n_targets, n_features)
        ``sparse_coef_`` is a readonly property derived from ``coef_``

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

    n_iter_ : int | array-like, shape (n_targets,)
        number of iterations run by the coordinate descent solver to reach
        the specified tolerance.

    Examples
    --------
    >>> from sklearn import linear_model
    >>> clf = linear_model.Lasso(alpha=0.1)
    >>> clf.fit([[0,0], [1, 1], [2, 2]], [0, 1, 2])

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

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

    Parameters
    ----------
    eps : float, optional
        Length of the path. ``eps=1e-3`` means that
        ``alpha_min / alpha_max = 1e-3``.

    n_alphas : int, optional
        Number of alphas along the regularization path

    alphas : numpy array, optional
        List of alphas where to compute the models.
        If ``None`` alphas are set automatically

    fit_intercept : boolean, default True
        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).

    normalize : boolean, optional, default False
        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.

    max_iter : int, optional
        The maximum number of iterations

    tol : float, optional
        The tolerance for the optimization: if the updates are
        smaller than ``tol``, the optimization code checks the
        dual gap for optimality and continues until it is smaller
        than ``tol``.

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

    cv : int, cross-validation generator or an iterable, optional
        Determines the cross-validation splitting strategy.
        Possible inputs for cv are:

        - None, to use the default 3-fold cross-validation,
        - integer, to specify the number of folds.
        - An object to be used as a cross-validation generator.
        - An iterable yielding train/test splits.

        For integer/None inputs, :class:`KFold` is used.

        Refer :ref:`User Guide <cross_validation>` for the various
        cross-validation strategies that can be used here.

    verbose : bool or integer
        Amount of verbosity.

    n_jobs : integer, optional
        Number of CPUs to use during the cross validation. If ``-1``, use
        all the CPUs.

    positive : bool, optional
        If positive, restrict regression coefficients to be positive

    random_state : int, RandomState instance or None, optional, default None
        The seed of the pseudo random number generator that selects a random
        feature to update.  If int, random_state is the seed used by the random
        number generator; If RandomState instance, random_state is the random
        number generator; If None, the random number generator is the
        RandomState instance used by `np.random`. Used when ``selection`` ==
        'random'.

    selection : str, default 'cyclic'
        If set to 'random', a random coefficient is updated every iteration
        rather than looping over features sequentially by default. This
        (setting to 'random') often leads to significantly faster convergence
        especially when tol is higher than 1e-4.

    Attributes
    ----------
    alpha_ : float
        The amount of penalization chosen by cross validation

    coef_ : array, shape (n_features,) | (n_targets, n_features)
        parameter vector (w in the cost function formula)

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

    mse_path_ : array, shape (n_alphas, n_folds)
        mean square error for the test set on each fold, varying alpha

    alphas_ : numpy array, shape (n_alphas,)
        The grid of alphas used for fitting

    dual_gap_ : ndarray, shape ()
        The dual gap at the end of the optimization for the optimal alpha
        (``alpha_``).

    n_iter_ : int
        number of iterations run by the coordinate descent solver to reach
        the specified tolerance for the optimal alpha.

    Notes
    -----
    For an example, see
    :ref:`examples/linear_model/plot_lasso_model_selection.py
    <sphx_glr_auto_examples_linear_model_plot_lasso_model_selection.py>`.

    To avoid unnecessary memory duplication the X argument of the fit method
    should be directly passed as a Fortran-contiguous numpy array.

    Parameters
    ----------
    l1_ratio : float or array of floats, optional
        float between 0 and 1 passed to ElasticNet (scaling between
        l1 and l2 penalties). For ``l1_ratio = 0``
        the penalty is an L2 penalty. For ``l1_ratio = 1`` it is an L1 penalty.

        values are tested by cross-validation and the one giving the best
        prediction score is used. Note that a good choice of list of

        (i.e. Lasso) and less close to 0 (i.e. Ridge), as in ``[.1, .5, .7,
        .9, .95, .99, 1]``

    eps : float, optional
        Length of the path. ``eps=1e-3`` means that
        ``alpha_min / alpha_max = 1e-3``.

    n_alphas : int, optional
        Number of alphas along the regularization path, used for each l1_ratio.

    alphas : numpy array, optional
        List of alphas where to compute the models.
        If None alphas are set automatically

    fit_intercept : boolean
        whether to calculate the intercept for this model. If set

        matrix can also be passed as argument.

    max_iter : int, optional

        especially when tol is higher than 1e-4.

    Attributes

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

    mse_path_ : array, shape (n_l1_ratio, n_alpha, n_folds)

        number of iterations run by the coordinate descent solver to reach
        the specified tolerance for the optimal alpha.

    For an example, see
    :ref:`examples/linear_model/plot_lasso_model_selection.py
    <sphx_glr_auto_examples_linear_model_plot_lasso_model_selection.py>`.

    To avoid unnecessary memory duplication the X argument of the fit method
    should be directly passed as a Fortran-contiguous numpy array.

    The parameter l1_ratio corresponds to alpha in the glmnet R package
    while alpha corresponds to the lambda parameter in glmnet.
    More specifically, the optimization objective is::

        1 / (2 * n_samples) * ||y - Xw||^2_2
        + alpha * l1_ratio * ||w||_1
        + 0.5 * alpha * (1 - l1_ratio) * ||w||^2_2

    If you are interested in controlling the L1 and L2 penalty
    separately, keep in mind that this is equivalent to::

        a * L1 + b * L2

    for::

        alpha = a + b and l1_ratio = a / (a + b).

# Multi Task ElasticNet and Lasso models (with joint feature selection)


class MultiTaskElasticNet(Lasso):
    """Multi-task ElasticNet model trained with L1/L2 mixed-norm as regularizer

    The optimization objective for MultiTaskElasticNet is::

        (1 / (2 * n_samples)) * ||Y - XW||^Fro_2
        + alpha * l1_ratio * ||W||_21

    Where::

        ||W||_21 = \sum_i \sqrt{\sum_j w_{ij}^2}

    i.e. the sum of norm of each row.

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

    Parameters
    ----------
    alpha : float, optional
        Constant that multiplies the L1/L2 term. Defaults to 1.0

    l1_ratio : float
        The ElasticNet mixing parameter, with 0 < l1_ratio <= 1.
        For l1_ratio = 1 the penalty is an L1/L2 penalty. For l1_ratio = 0 it
        is an L2 penalty.
        For ``0 < l1_ratio < 1``, the penalty is a combination of L1/L2 and L2.

    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).

    normalize : boolean, optional, default False
        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``.

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

    max_iter : int, optional
        The maximum number of iterations

    tol : float, optional
        The tolerance for the optimization: if the updates are
        smaller than ``tol``, the optimization code checks the
        dual gap for optimality and continues until it is smaller
        than ``tol``.

    warm_start : bool, optional
        When set to ``True``, reuse the solution of the previous call to fit as
        initialization, otherwise, just erase the previous solution.

    random_state : int, RandomState instance or None, optional, default None
        The seed of the pseudo random number generator that selects a random
        feature to update.  If int, random_state is the seed used by the random
        number generator; If RandomState instance, random_state is the random
        number generator; If None, the random number generator is the
        RandomState instance used by `np.random`. Used when ``selection`` ==
        'random'.

    selection : str, default 'cyclic'
        If set to 'random', a random coefficient is updated every iteration
        rather than looping over features sequentially by default. This
        (setting to 'random') often leads to significantly faster convergence
        especially when tol is higher than 1e-4.

    Attributes
    ----------
    intercept_ : array, shape (n_tasks,)
        Independent term in decision function.

    coef_ : array, shape (n_tasks, n_features)
        Parameter vector (W in the cost function formula). If a 1D y is \
        passed in at fit (non multi-task usage), ``coef_`` is then a 1D array.
        Note that ``coef_`` stores the transpose of ``W``, ``W.T``.

    n_iter_ : int
        number of iterations run by the coordinate descent solver to reach
        the specified tolerance.

    Examples
    --------
    >>> from sklearn import linear_model
    >>> clf = linear_model.MultiTaskElasticNet(alpha=0.1)
    >>> clf.fit([[0,0], [1, 1], [2, 2]], [[0, 0], [1, 1], [2, 2]])

    Parameters
    ----------
    l1_ratio : float or array of floats
        The ElasticNet mixing parameter, with 0 < l1_ratio <= 1.
        For l1_ratio = 1 the penalty is an L1/L2 penalty. For l1_ratio = 0 it
        is an L2 penalty.
        For ``0 < l1_ratio < 1``, the penalty is a combination of L1/L2 and L2.
        This parameter can be a list, in which case the different
        values are tested by cross-validation and the one giving the best
        prediction score is used. Note that a good choice of list of
        values for l1_ratio is often to put more values close to 1
        (i.e. Lasso) and less close to 0 (i.e. Ridge), as in ``[.1, .5, .7,
        .9, .95, .99, 1]``

    eps : float, optional
        Length of the path. ``eps=1e-3`` means that
        ``alpha_min / alpha_max = 1e-3``.

    n_alphas : int, optional
        Number of alphas along the regularization path

    alphas : array-like, optional
        List of alphas where to compute the models.
        If not provided, set automatically.

    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).

    normalize : boolean, optional, default False
        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``.

    max_iter : int, optional
        The maximum number of iterations

    tol : float, optional
        The tolerance for the optimization: if the updates are
        smaller than ``tol``, the optimization code checks the
        dual gap for optimality and continues until it is smaller
        than ``tol``.

    cv : int, cross-validation generator or an iterable, optional
        Determines the cross-validation splitting strategy.
        Possible inputs for cv are:

        - None, to use the default 3-fold cross-validation,
        - integer, to specify the number of folds.
        - An object to be used as a cross-validation generator.
        - An iterable yielding train/test splits.

        For integer/None inputs, :class:`KFold` is used.

        Refer :ref:`User Guide <cross_validation>` for the various
        cross-validation strategies that can be used here.

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

    verbose : bool or integer
        Amount of verbosity.

    n_jobs : integer, optional
        Number of CPUs to use during the cross validation. If ``-1``, use
        all the CPUs. Note that this is used only if multiple values for
        l1_ratio are given.

    random_state : int, RandomState instance or None, optional, default None
        The seed of the pseudo random number generator that selects a random
        feature to update.  If int, random_state is the seed used by the random
        number generator; If RandomState instance, random_state is the random
        number generator; If None, the random number generator is the
        RandomState instance used by `np.random`. Used when ``selection`` ==
        'random'.

    selection : str, default 'cyclic'
        If set to 'random', a random coefficient is updated every iteration
        rather than looping over features sequentially by default. This
        (setting to 'random') often leads to significantly faster convergence
        especially when tol is higher than 1e-4.

    Attributes
    ----------
    intercept_ : array, shape (n_tasks,)
        Independent term in decision function.

    coef_ : array, shape (n_tasks, n_features)

class MultiTaskLassoCV(LinearModelCV, RegressorMixin):
    """Multi-task L1/L2 Lasso with built-in cross-validation.

    The optimization objective for MultiTaskLasso is::

        (1 / (2 * n_samples)) * ||Y - XW||^Fro_2 + alpha * ||W||_21

    Where::

        ||W||_21 = \sum_i \sqrt{\sum_j w_{ij}^2}

    i.e. the sum of norm of each row.

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

    Parameters
    ----------
    eps : float, optional
        Length of the path. ``eps=1e-3`` means that
        ``alpha_min / alpha_max = 1e-3``.

    n_alphas : int, optional
        Number of alphas along the regularization path

    alphas : array-like, optional
        List of alphas where to compute the models.
        If not provided, set automatically.

    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).

    normalize : boolean, optional, default False
        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``.

    max_iter : int, optional
        The maximum number of iterations.

    tol : float, optional
        The tolerance for the optimization: if the updates are
        smaller than ``tol``, the optimization code checks the
        dual gap for optimality and continues until it is smaller
        than ``tol``.

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

    cv : int, cross-validation generator or an iterable, optional
        Determines the cross-validation splitting strategy.
        Possible inputs for cv are:

        - None, to use the default 3-fold cross-validation,
        - integer, to specify the number of folds.
        - An object to be used as a cross-validation generator.
        - An iterable yielding train/test splits.

        For integer/None inputs, :class:`KFold` is used.

        Refer :ref:`User Guide <cross_validation>` for the various
        cross-validation strategies that can be used here.

    verbose : bool or integer
        Amount of verbosity.

    n_jobs : integer, optional
        Number of CPUs to use during the cross validation. If ``-1``, use
        all the CPUs. Note that this is used only if multiple values for
        l1_ratio are given.

    random_state : int, RandomState instance or None, optional, default None
        The seed of the pseudo random number generator that selects a random
        feature to update.  If int, random_state is the seed used by the random
        number generator; If RandomState instance, random_state is the random
        number generator; If None, the random number generator is the
        RandomState instance used by `np.random`. Used when ``selection`` ==
        'random'

    selection : str, default 'cyclic'
        If set to 'random', a random coefficient is updated every iteration
        rather than looping over features sequentially by default. This
        (setting to 'random') often leads to significantly faster convergence
        especially when tol is higher than 1e-4.

    Attributes
    ----------
    intercept_ : array, shape (n_tasks,)
        Independent term in decision function.

    coef_ : array, shape (n_tasks, n_features)
        Parameter vector (W in the cost function formula).
        Note that ``coef_`` stores the transpose of ``W``, ``W.T``.

    alpha_ : float
        The amount of penalization chosen by cross validation

    mse_path_ : array, shape (n_alphas, n_folds)
        mean square error for the test set on each fold, varying alpha

    alphas_ : numpy array, shape (n_alphas,)
        The grid of alphas used for fitting.

    n_iter_ : int
        number of iterations run by the coordinate descent solver to reach
        the specified tolerance for the optimal alpha.
