Linear regression and machine learning models both try to solve the same problem in different ways. In the following simple example of a two-variable equation fitting the best possible plane, regression models try to fit the best possible hyperplane by minimizing the errors between the hyperplane and actual observations. However, in machine learning, the same problem has been converted into an optimization problem in which errors are modeled in squared form to minimize errors by altering the weights.
In statistical modeling, samples are drawn from the population and the model will be fitted on sampled data. However, in machine learning, even small numbers such as 30 observations would be good enough to update the weights at the end of each iteration; in a few cases, such as online learning, the model will be updated with...
