Folks,

this is my first message on this newsgroup, so first: Hi!

I have two questions, I hope they are not too trivial:

1. Access to coefficients in LassoCV
I use LassoCV to find the optimal alpha for my problem. For analysis 
purposes I'd like to get access to the paths coefficients, more or less 
like it's done in this old example here:
http://scikit-learn.org/0.8/auto_examples/linear_model/plot_lasso_path_crossval.html

I see that the coef_path_ attribute has been removed from lassoCV. 
What's the rationale behind this choice? To get the coefficients, should 
I use lasso_path and find the best MSE by myself, or did I miss 
something obvious here?

2. Convergence warnings
My use case with Lasso is a "small n (48) large p (~100)" problem with 
some predictors highly collinear. I constantly get the following warning 
message when using LassoCV:
"ConvergenceWarning: Objective did not converge. You might want to 
increase the number of iteration"
Since the results look fine and LassoCV was able to find a MSE minimun, 
I guess that one (or more) of the models along the path had trouble to 
converge. I tried increasing iterations and tolerance thresholds without 
success. What should I do to solve this problem without awkward 
try-and-error steps? Which particular feature in my data could cause 
this warning?

Thanks a lot!

Fabien
