• Regression
    • Regression helps in establishing a relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables
    • Regression refers to predictive modelling problems that involved predicting a numeric value, given an input
      • E.g. application rate of fertiliser
    • Regression is a statistical measure used to make predictions from data by finding relationships between input and output data
      • Regression is a method of dealing with linear dependancies (e.g. weather prediction)
    • If your data will have some nonlinear dependencies, neural networks should perform better than regression
      • Regression basically provides a simplistic network
  • Classification
    • This is in contrast to classification models, that predict a class label, or probability of a class label for a given input
      • E.g. Is a picture a cat or dog
