5.2.4 Regression

This topic describes the information about the regression in Machine Learning.

Regression is a statistical technique to discover relationships using independent variables to estimate / predict a target variable of NUMBER or INTEGER type.

For example: The user needs to predict the value of LUXURY SPEND for a new CASE ID, given the data of branch, marital status, income, and savings

Table 5-3 Example - Case Details

CASE ID BRANCH MARITAL STATUS INCOME SAVING LUXURY SPEND
12345 BRT Y 15000 6723 1000
12346 BRT N 17500 250 750
12347 CSR D 25000 2654 1900
12348 CSR N 16567 20 2500

Note:

The CASE ID must uniquely identify a row.
