I appreciate how convenient it is to have statistical analysis tools available directly in BQ SQL, but are linear and logistic regression really considered "machine learning"?
- azurezyq 8y agoActually most of online ads ctr prediction machine learning systems are still logistic regression based until very recently. It's simple but very effective.
- Eridrus 8y agoYes, it definitely is.
- Xorlev 8y agoJust because it's not a neural net doesn't make it not ML. Also, can echo the other folks here: linear models and basic logistic regression are still competitive.
- akadien 8y agoI wholeheartedly agree with you. I'm suggesting that it might be time to have the counter conversation that just because it has numerical statistical analysis does not make it ML. I've been around the field for a couple of decades and understand linear regression is covered in the first pages of chapter one. If that is the standard, then Excel can claim to have had machine learning capabilities for years.
