mahout: linear regression using least squares

[Pavan Kumar N <pa...@gmail.com>]

Dear Mahout Commiters,

Is it correct to understand that Mahout will no longer be looking at
regression algorithms like weighted linear regression. Based on the updated
site, I could see it is not on the list of supported algorithms.

I have programmed a normal equations solutions procedure to solve multiple
regression in java and working on writing mapreduce code for the same. I am
looking to explore the opportunity of maintaining/being responsible for
regression in mahout by completing this code. Just have a few issues though
(mapreduce compatible methods to get the inverse of non-singular matrices).

Regards
Pavan
