Understanding regression algorithms

The supervised machine learning model uses one of the regression algorithms if the target variable is a continuous variable. In this case, the machine learning model is called a regressor.

In this section, we will present various algorithms that can be used to train a supervised machine learning regression model—or simply, regressors. Before we go into the details of the algorithms, let's first create a challenge for these algorithms to test their performance, abilities, and effectiveness on.

Presenting the regressors challenge

Similar to the approach that we used with the classification algorithms, we will first present a problem to be solved as a challenge for all regression...
