Application of Statistical Computing to Statistical Learning

The study here is about supervised learning an aspect of statistical learning. We identified prediction as the mainstay of supervised learning and further noted that when the outcome of prediction is a categorical variable classification obtains otherwise what we have is regression meaning that the prediction outcome is a continuous variable.A distinguishing aspect of this work is our ability to show both mathematically with a proof and practically with some real-world datasets that regression tools can be used as veritable tools for classification.
