Description: Implements the SparseStep model for solving regression
- problems with a sparsity constraint on the parameters.
+ problems with a sparsity constraint on the parameters. The SparseStep
+ regression model was proposed in Van den Burg, Groenen, and Alfons (2017)
+ <https://arxiv.org/abs/1701.06967>. In the model, a regularization term is
+ added to the regression problem which approximates the counting norm of
+ the parameters. By iteratively improving the approximation a sparse
+ solution to the regression problem can be obtained. In this package both
+ the standard SparseStep algorithm is implemented as well as a path
+ algorithm which uses golden section search to determine solutions with
+ different values for the regularization parameter.

+## Resubmission
+This is a resubmission. In this version I have:
+
+* Expanded the Description field with a reference to the paper and more
+ information on the method.
+* Added MSC classifications and updated URLSs in the description file.
+
## Test environments
* local Arch Linux install, R version 3.3.2
* win-builder (devel and release)
