  <dc:title>Regularized Parametric Modal Regression: Lasso, Elastic Net and
Ridge</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package ModalNet version 0.3.0</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Variable selection and estimation for parametric modal regression
    with continuous positive responses (Gamma, Weibull and Lognormal families)
    under Lasso, elastic-net, ridge and adaptive-Lasso penalties. The conditional
    mode is linked to a linear predictor through a logarithmic link using the
    mode reparameterization of Galarza and Lachos (2026) &lt;doi:10.48550/arXiv.2603.07099&gt;.
    The penalized log-likelihood is maximized with a proximal Newton algorithm
    (iteratively reweighted penalized least squares): at each iteration the
    modal log-likelihood is replaced by a local quadratic surrogate in the
    linear predictor, which yields a pseudo-response and a working weight in
    closed form, and the resulting weighted penalized least-squares subproblem
    is solved by the coordinate-descent solver of 'glmnet' (Friedman, Hastie and
    Tibshirani, 2010, &lt;doi:10.18637/jss.v033.i01&gt;). The regularization parameter
    is chosen along a warm-started path by the extended Bayesian information
    criterion of Chen and Chen (2008) &lt;doi:10.1093/biomet/asn034&gt;.</dc:description>
