We are going to dive into a few additional techniques for regression. All of these are variations on techniques we’ve seen before. Two are direct variations on linear regression, one splices a support vector classifier with linear regression to create a Support Vector Regressor, and one uses decision trees for regression instead of classification. As such, much of what we’ll talk about will be somewhat familiar. We’ll ...
