+\title{SparseStep: Approximating the Counting Norm for Sparse Regularization}
+\description{
+In the SparseStep regression model the ordinary least-squares problem is
+augmented with an approximation of the exact \eqn{\ell_0}{l[0]} pseudonorm.
+This approximation is made increasingly more accurate in the SparseStep
+algorithm, resulting in a sparse solution to the regression problem. See
+the references for more information.
+}
+\section{SparseStep functions}{
+
+The main SparseStep functions are:
+\describe{
+\item{\code{\link{sparsestep}}}{Fit a SparseStep model for a given range of
+\eqn{\lambda} values}
+\item{\code{\link{path.sparsestep}}}{Fit the SparseStep model along a path
+of \eqn{\lambda} values which are generated such that a model is created at
+each possible level of sparsity, or until a given recursion depth is
+reached.}
+}
+
+Other available functions are:
+\describe{
+\item{\code{\link{plot}}}{Plot the coefficient path of the SparseStep
+model.}
+\item{\code{\link{predict}}}{Predict the outcome of the linear model using
+SparseStep}
+\item{\code{\link{coef}}}{Get the coefficients from the SparseStep model}
+\item{\code{\link{print}}}{Print a short description of the SparseStep
+model}
+}
