Predicting a continuous value rather than a category.

Possible algorithms:

  • linear regression
  • polynomial regression
  • ridge regression
  • lasso regression
  • decision trees and random forests
  • neural networks

The goal is to learn a function that minimizes the expected loss:

We first have to select a loss function, for single point commons losses are:

  • squared loss
  • absolute error
  • Huber Loss
