Class SimpleLinearRegression

    java.lang.Object
      weka.classifiers.Classifier
          weka.classifiers.functions.SimpleLinearRegression

All Implemented Interfaces:
  java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Cloneable, CapabilitiesHandler, OptionHandler, RevisionHandler, WeightedInstancesHandler

    public class SimpleLinearRegression

extends Classifier
implements WeightedInstancesHandler

Learns a simple linear regression model. Picks the attribute that results in the lowest squared error. Missing values are not allowed. Can only deal with numeric attributes.

Valid options are:

     -D
      If set, classifier is run in debug mode and
      may output additional info to the console
