Training Algorithm Details
Ordinary least squares (OLS) is a parameterized regression method. It assumes that the conditional mean of the dependent variable follows a linear function of the dependent variables. The regression parameters can be estimated by minimizing the squares of the difference between observed values and the predictions

Methods
| Fit(IDataView) |
Trains and returns a ITransformer. (Inherited from TrainerEstimatorBase<TTransformer,TModel>) |
| GetOutputSchema(SchemaShape) | (Inherited from TrainerEstimatorBase<TTransformer,TModel>) |
Extension Methods
| AppendCacheCheckpoint<TTrans>(IEstimator<TTrans>, IHostEnvironment) |
Append a 'caching checkpoint' to the estimator chain. This will ensure that the downstream estimators will be trained against cached data. It is helpful to have a caching checkpoint before trainers that take multiple data passes. |
| WithOnFitDelegate<TTransformer>(IEstimator<TTransformer>, Action<TTransformer>) |
Given an estimator, return a wrapping object that will call a delegate once Fit(IDataView) is called. It is often important for an estimator to return information about what was fit, which is why the Fit(IDataView) method returns a specifically typed object, rather than just a general ITransformer. However, at the same time, IEstimator<TTransformer> are often formed into pipelines with many objects, so we may need to build a chain of estimators via EstimatorChain<TLastTransformer> where the estimator for which we want to get the transformer is buried somewhere in this chain. For that scenario, we can through this method attach a delegate that will be called once fit is called. |
