- [[linear regression]]: predict continuous value output
# Idea
Classification problems try to predict a discrete value output. We map input variables into discrete categories.
The number of features or attributes that can be used to classify the output can be infinite. Algorithms like [[support vector machines]] can deal with infinite numbers of features.
