> Currently linear regression uses weighted least squares to solve the normal equations locally on the driver when the dimensionality is small (<4096). Weighted least squares uses a Cholesky decomposition to solve the problem with L2 regularization (which has a closed-form solution). We can support L1/elasticnet penalties by solving the equations locally using OWL-QN solver.
> Also note that Cholesky does not handle singular covariance matrices, but L-BFGS and OWL-QN are capable of providing reasonable solutions. This patch can also add support for solving singular covariance matrices by also adding L-BFGS.
