#' Least Angle Regression and LASSO Regression
#'
#' @description These are all variants of LASSO, and provide the entire
#'   sequence of coefficients and fits, starting from zero to the least
#'   squares fit.
#'
#' @param Sigma0 A Grammian / covariance matrix of pathway predictors.
#' @param b0 An eigenvector of \code{Sigma0}.
#' @param n The sample size.
#' @param type Option between \code{"lar"} and \code{"lasso"}. Defaults to
#'   \code{"lasso"}.
#' @param max.steps How many steps should the LAR or LASSO algorithms take?
#'   Defaults to 8 times the pathway dimension.
#' @param eps What should we consider to be numerically 0? Defaults to the
#'   machine's default error limit for doubles (\code{.Machine$double.eps}).
#' @param adaptive Ignore.
#' @param para Ignore.
#'
#' @return An object of class \code{"lars"}.
#'
#' @details LARS is described in detail in Efron, Hastie, Johnstone and
#'   Tibshirani (2002). With the \code{"lasso"} option, it computes the complete
#'   LASSO solution simultaneously for \emph{all} values of the shrinkage
#'   parameter in the same computational cost as a least squares fit. This
#'   function is adapted from the \code{\link[lars]{lars}} function in the
#'   \code{lars} package to apply to covariance or Grammian pathway design
#'   matrices.
