Solving the problem using regression in Core ML

This section will go through the details of creating a regression model and then using the regression model in an iOS mobile application. It will provide a detailed walk-through of the various steps involved in creating an iOS regression ML application to address the problem defined.

Technical requirements

The following software needs to be installed on the developer machine:

• Python
• Xcode in a Mac environment

The exercise programs for this chapter can be downloaded from our GitHub repository at https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Machine-Learning-for-Mobile/tree/master/housing%20price%20prediction. 

In the following program, we are going to use pandas, numpy, and scikit-learn to create the model. So, install these packages from the pip package manager using the following command from the Command Prompt/Terminal:

pip install scikit-learn
pip install numpy
pip install pandas

In order to convert the created model to the Core ML format, we need to use the...
