MathWorks
I write documentation for MATLAB mathematical toolboxes, primarily optimization. I have also written documentation for PDE, statistics, symbolic math, and econometrics.
My pre-MathWorks job was with Bell Labs, primarily in mathematical models of data traffic, with a strong interest in parallel computation and in rare events (large deviations).
I do not provide private consulting. If you have a question, please ask on a public forum such as MATLAB Answers.

how can I automaticlly optimize hyperparameter for lasso regression. I could not set the function input as variable.
As stated in the documentation, you cannot set Alpha = 0. The Alpha parameter must be strictly positive (and no more than 1). A...

I am doing Genetic algorithm for optimisation , but it is very slowly optimising, 1st itteration is not complete since 5hours but it is showing optimisation running.
