linear regression

A type of machine learning model in which both of the following are true: - The model is a linear model. - The prediction is a floating-point value. (This is the regression part of linear regression.) Contrast linear regression with logistic regression. Also, contrast regression with classification. See Linear regression in Machine Learning Crash Course for more information.

Practitioners refer to linear regression when building, training, or evaluating machine learning systems. It appears in research papers, product documentation, and technical discussions about AI capabilities and limitations.
