What are the advantages and Disadvantages of Regression Algorithms

Advantages:

  • Easy and simple implementation.
  • Space complex solution.
  • Fast training.
  • Value of θ coefficients gives an assumption of feature significance.

Disadvantages:

  • Applicable only if the solution is linear. In many real-life scenarios, it may not be the case.
  • Algorithm assumes the input residuals (error) to be normal distributed, but may not be satisfied always.
  • Algorithm assumes input features to be mutually-independent (no co-linearity).
