Other regression algorithms

Azure ML comes with a bunch of popular regression algorithms. This section briefly describes other algorithms available (at the time of writing of this book) that we have not discussed so far:

• The Bayesian Linear Regression Model: This model uses Bayesian Inference for regression. This may not be difficult to train as long as you get the regularization parameter right, which may fit a value such as 0.1, 0.2, and so on.
• The Ordinal Regression Model: You use this when you have to train a model for a dataset in which the labels or target values have a natural ordering or ranking among them.
• The Poisson Regression: It is a special type of regression analysis. It is typically used for model counts, for example, modeling the ...
