Overview of this book

Scala is a highly scalable integration of object-oriented nature and functional programming concepts that make it easy to build scalable and complex big data applications. This book is a handy guide for machine learning developers and data scientists who want to develop and train effective machine learning models in Scala. The book starts with an introduction to machine learning, while covering deep learning and machine learning basics. It then explains how to use Scala-based ML libraries to solve classification and regression problems using linear regression, generalized linear regression, logistic regression, support vector machine, and Naïve Bayes algorithms. It also covers tree-based ensemble techniques for solving both classification and regression problems. Moving ahead, it covers unsupervised learning techniques, such as dimensionality reduction, clustering, and recommender systems. Finally, it provides a brief overview of deep learning using a real-life example in Scala.

An overview of regression analysis

In the previous chapter, we already gained some basic understanding of the machine learning (ML) process, as we have seen the basic distinction between regression and classification. Regression analysis is a set of statistical processes for estimating the relationships between a set of variables called a dependent variable and one or multiple independent variables. The values of dependent variables depend on the values of independent variables.

A regression analysis technique helps us to understand this dependency, that is, how the value of the dependent variable changes when any one of the independent variables is changed, while the other independent variables are held fixed. For example, let's assume that there will be more savings in someone's bank when they grow older. Here, the amount of Savings (say in million $) depends on age...
