    Hi,
    just check the GLM operator. You just need to set alpha to 0 or 1 to get Ridge or Lasso.

    Thank you for answering my question, however, I have another question. Is there a way to find the optimal value of alpha for doing ridge regression?

    i think you mean lambda, the regularization strength? And of course, you can just optimize on it with Optimize Grid. See: https://academy.rapidminer.com/learn/video/optimize-demo
