PREDICT_LINEAR_REG

Applies a linear regression model on an input relation and returns the predicted value as a FLOAT.

Syntax

PREDICT_LINEAR_REG ( input-columns
        USING PARAMETERS model_name = 'model-name' [, match_by_pos = match-by-position] )

Arguments

input-columns

Comma-separated list of columns to use from the input relation, or asterisk (*) to select all columns.

Parameters

model_name

Name of the model (case-insensitive).

match_by_pos

Boolean value that specifies how input columns are matched to model features:

• true: Match by the position of columns in the input columns list.

• false (default): Match by name.

Examples

=> SELECT PREDICT_LINEAR_REG(waiting USING PARAMETERS model_name='myLinearRegModel')FROM
faithful ORDER BY id;

The following example shows how to use the PREDICT_LINEAR_REG function on an input table, using the match_by_pos parameter. Note that you can replace the column argument with a constant that does not match an input column:

=> SELECT PREDICT_LINEAR_REG(55 USING PARAMETERS model_name='linear_reg_faithful',
                     match_by_pos='true')FROM faithful ORDER BY id;
