Regressors<\/p>\n
\u201cRegression analysis\u201d sounds like some kind of psychology thing, but it\u2019s a math thing. These algorithms look at the relationship between two or more variables to find correlations, allowing them to predict one variable based on the others. This can include prediction of future events based on models of the past, but it doesn\u2019t have to be about time. Use regressors to infer one variable from a bunch of others, and to sensitize users to (and act on) likely future events.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s easier to understand with a toy example. Consider the height and weight of chimpanzees. As they get taller, they tend to weigh more. Because of this correlation, if I give you the height of a particular chimpanzee, you could look on a data table and predict how much it probably weighs. Regressors do this, but for much more complicated sets of variables, with much more complicated relationships to each other.<\/p>\n
Note that under the hood, regressors and classifiers are the same task. But the difference from a user perspective is that classifiers output discrete classes, and regressors provide a number within a range (often between 0.0 and 1.0).<\/p>\n
Practical examples of regressors<\/p>\n
Estimated delivery date for your Amazon package
\nFinancial forecasting (for example, the likelihood that you will reach retirement goals)
\nRecommended pricing for a good
\nWeather predictions
\nA healthcare patient\u2019s risk, given the details of a diagnosis
\n\u2191 Input: The set of known variables
\n\u2193 Output: A number representing the predicted variable (and sometimes the range of error for that predicted variable)<\/p>\n
Basic interactions with regressors<\/p>\n
10. Updating: Predictions can be updated as new information comes in. Think of estimated time of arrival on a navigation app. How is the user notified? Can they reject the update? What \u201cdownstream\u201d recommendations need to change and how?
\n11. Scenario-izing: Users may want to investigate how different predictions will play out and compare them. In some domains, users may want to document contingency plans for each scenario as a playbook to be used by others later.
\n12. Refining: After a predicted event happens, users may want to compare actual effects to predictions, in order to improve playbooks.
\nRelated concepts and jargon: regression analysis, supervised learning (this is both related to regressors and classifiers), inference….<\/p>\n
