If you use any of the L2-norm penalties (penalty='grLasso', 'grMCP', or 'grSCAD'), cite the Statistics and Computing article. If you use the group exponential lasso (penalty='gel'), cite the Biometrics article. If you use the composite MCP (penalty='cMCP') or group bridge penalties, cite the Statistics and its Interface (2009) article; note that the penalty is referred to as the 'group MCP' in the original article, but it would be better to refer to it as 'composite MCP' in future works.
