Hi, your code has errors: apply function only has 1 or 2 as margin.
bound is used as turning parameter for summation of absolute coefficients. lasso runs on a grid of the turning parameter for varying strength of shrinkage. so each turning value may yield different sets of coefficients and values. cross validation is used to estimate the value of the turning parameter which gives the smallest errors (mse or deviance) on testing data.
