``elastic_net_regression``
==========================

Elastic net regression regressor supporting continuous and mixed-feature datasets using coordinate descent with coefficient-wise L1 shrinkage plus L2 stabilization. Learns from a dataset object implementing the ``regression_dataset_protocol`` protocol and returns a regressor term that can be used for prediction and exported as predicate clauses.
