Alexander Ulanov updated SPARK-9120:
------------------------------------
Description:
org.apache.spark.ml.regression.RegressionModel supports prediction only for a
single variable with a method "predict:Double" by extending the Predictor.
There is a need for multivariate prediction, at least for regression. I propose
to modify "RegressionModel" interface similarly to how it is done in
"ClassificationModel", which supports multiclass classification. It has
"predict:Double" and "predictRaw:Vector". Analogously, "RegressionModel" should
have something like "predictMultivariate:Vector".
Update: After reading the design docs, adding "predictMultivariate" to
RegressionModel does not seem reasonable to me anymore. The issue is as
follows. RegressionModel extends PredictionModel which has "predict:Double".
Its "train" method uses "predict:Double" for prediction, i.e. PredictionModel
(and RegressionModel) is hard-coded to have only one output. There exist a
similar problem in MLLib (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-5362).
The possible solution for this problem might require to redesign the class
hierarchy or addition of a separate interface that extends model. Though the
latter means code duplication.
