+# Regularization and Model Evaluation
+
+This project implements linear regression with non-linear basis functions, 
+explores the bias-variance tradeoff using multiple fits, and applies 
+L1 and L2 regularization with cross-validation to analyze their effect on loss. 
+All algorithms are written in Python.
