Linear Regression [R24] is used to model the relationship between a scalar dependent variable and one or more independent variables. The Linear Regression model is initialized, trained on columns of a frame and used to predict the value of the dependent variable given the independent observations of a frame. This model runs the MLLib implementation of Linear Regression [R25] with the SGD [R26] optimizer.
