Default Lambda range #3

Open michaelweylandt opened 6 years ago

Currently, if lambda is not supplied by the user, we use the same range as glmnet (more or less).

Does theory suggest a better default? Ideally, we want lambda_max to be the smallest value of lambda that gives exactly one non-zero element in each group, but there are problems for which no such lambda exists and even when it does, it's not clear how to calculate it quickly.
