What is another word for regularization?
Pronunciation: [ɹˌɛɡjuːləɹa͡ɪzˈe͡ɪʃən] (IPA) 
Regularization is a mathematical process that smooths out the effects of noisy or incomplete data. There are several synonyms for regularization, including regularization methods, regularization techniques, and regularization algorithms. Some common regularization methods include ridge regression, lasso regression, and elastic net regularization. Ridge regression adds a penalty term to the least squares regression to shrink the estimates towards zero, while lasso regression performs variable selection by shrinking some coefficients to zero. Elastic net regularization combines ridge and lasso regression to balance their strengths and weaknesses. Other synonyms for regularization include data smoothing, parameter estimation, and model selection. Regularization is widely used in machine learning, statistics, and signal processing to improve the performance and interpretability of models.
