**TLDR:** A regression method that combines L1 and L2 regularization to provide both coefficient shrinkage and partial feature selection.

<p>Elastic Net regression is a hybrid regularization method that combines the strengths of Ridge and Lasso. It can perform especially well in high-dimensional datasets that contain correlated features. While the L1 penalty can suppress some variables, the L2 penalty stabilizes coefficient estimates. As a result, it is often valuable in practice for balancing generalization and interpretability.</p>
